Abstract

This chapter reveals the crucial challenges being faced by the society and the developers in making IoT reach to every nook and corner of the society. But as every coin has two sides, besides the boon of IoT, there are some banes too which can be now considered as the challenges open for the developers to make IoT a bigger success. Every application has its own issues in adopting IoT. Among them, the common and major ones are security and privacy concerns, ubiquitous network connectivity, societal reluctance to new technology, lack of standard protocols, gigantic data size, high-cost investment, robustness, and self-sustainability of IoT sensors connected in wireless sensor networks. Besides common challenges, challenges specific to different sectors of IoT applications like retail sector, healthcare sector, smart grid, smart city, agricultural sector, smart homes, transportation sector, smart metering, and power sector have been pondered in this chapter. These challenges need to be first combated so that IoT can bring the expected transformation at global level.
