BSNL’s Chennai center has started training in the field of ‘Internet of Things,’ a statement said here on Thursday.
The IoT lab at RGMTTC, Meenambakkam, Chennai has recently kickstarted the exercise, to impart quality education in this field.
“In a world of automatic systems, where washing machine, ovens and televisions talk to each other, the world is going to be very differently connected. There will be more machines talking to each other than humans, in the very near future,” said Vivek Banzal, Director CFA BSNL.
Interconnecting these machines and devices on the internet will be leading to a new level of interesting applications. IoT (Internet of Things) is the art and science of crafting those applications, he added.
A variety of sensors like GPS, Soil Moisture, Ph, Water Level, Gas, Humidity, PIR, Accelerometer, Hand Gesture, Joy sticks, Membrane key boards and Relays can be used based on project requirements.
“We are encouraging students from all colleges to actively engage in our training facility and have hands-on experience in our labs, learning the future technologies in easiest of ways.
“Home automation Systems, one of the courses in the BSNL’s training center, trains on typical use cases of controlled lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, communication systems, entertainment and home security devices to improve convenience, comfort, energy efficiency, and security.
“We are also starting online training programs on these technologies so that students from any part of the world, can engage in our high quality training initiative and make themselves ready for hyper-connected world,” added Mr Banzal in a statement here.
