Abstract
This chapter focuses on the most relevant wireless Internet of Things (IoT) technologies for the Smart Grid. Multiple sets of wireless IoT technologies coexist today because of the broad range and diversity of communications requirements associated with current and emerging IoT applications. Three dimensions are commonly used to compare the scope of wireless IoT technologies: communications range, achievable data rate, and type of spectrum used. IEEE 802.15.4 is a technical standard for Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks. Low-Power Wide Area Network technologies in unlicensed spectrum primarily target IoT use cases that are delay tolerant, do not need high data rates, and typically require very low power consumption and cost on the device side. Several industrial alliances and standardization organizations are promoting the use of IP-based frameworks and open protocols to connect and managing smart objects and devices. On the management side, there are also several protocols suitable for the management of heterogeneous, resource-constrained devices.
