IEEE 802.11n-2009, commonly shortened to 802.11n, is a wireless networking standard that uses multiple antennas to increase data rates. The purpose of IEEE 802.11n-2009 is to improve network throughput over the two previous standards 802.11a and 802.11g.

IEEE 802.11p

Amends wireless access in vehicular environments (WAVE) to the IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi standard. The amendment defines a way to wirelessly exchange data without the need to establish a basic service set (BSS).

Image Target

Image Targets represent images that the AR SDK can detect and track. Unlike traditional fiducial markers, data matrix codes, and QR codes, Image Targets do not need special black and white regions or codes to be recognized.

Individualized Production

Individualized, or customized, production refers to the concept of an intelligent, highly automated production system that allows high variance and dynamism in the product range with production costs at the level of mass production.

Industrial Control System

An industrial control system is a general term that encompasses several types of control systems used in industrial production, including SCADA systems, distributed control systems (DCS), and other smaller control system configurations such as programmable logic controllers (PLC).

Industrial Internet

The industrial Internet draws together fields such as machine learning, big data, the Internet of things, and machine-to-machine communication to ingest data from machines, analyze it, and use it to adjust operations.

Industrial Internet of Things

Internet of things technologies, processes, and business models applied to industry (B2B). Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a subdiscipline of IoT, encompassing connected large-scale machinery and industrial systems such as factory-floor monitoring, HVAC, smart lighting, and security.

Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Bands

The industrial, scientific, and medical radio band refers to a group of radio bands or parts of the radio spectrum that are internationally reserved for the use of radio frequency (RF) energy intended for scientific, medical, and industrial requirements rather than for communications.

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0, or the fourth industrial revolution, is the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies. It includes cyber-physical systems, the Internet of things and cloud computing.

Inertial Guidance

A sensor that uses an inertial measurement unit (IMU) via onboard accelerometers and gyroscopes to better estimate the object or vehicle position. Inertial guidance is used in collaboration with other sensors and software to localize the object or vehicle.

Inertial Measurement Unit

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body's specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers.

Information and Communication Technology

Information and communication technology (ICT) is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on.

Infrastructure as a Service

One of the main categories of Cloud computing services, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources online. An on-demand business model for IT-capacities

Innovation Dynamo

When a technology produces self-sustaining innovation and development, it is effectively an innovation dynamo. Electricity led to electronics. Electronics led to modern computing. Modern computing, combined with telecommunications, led to today’s Internet and the IIoT.

Integrated Mobility Platforms

Integrated Mobility Platforms (IMPs) are a key solution to urban traffic management. By integrating different modes of transport, IMPs drastically simplify route planning and make traveling more efficient, while being able to provide highly customer-tailored solutions.

Intelligent Device

Any type of equipment, instrument, or machine that has its own computing capability. As computing technology becomes more advanced and less expensive, it can be built into an increasing number of devices of all kinds.

Intelligent Enterprise

A management approach that applies technology and new service paradigms to the challenge of improving business performance. Intelligent Enterprise is making its machines smarter to drive new levels of operational efficiency, evolution, and innovation.

Intelligent Fire Alarm

A system with sensors measuring smoke and carbon monoxide, giving both early warnings, howling alarms and speaks with a human voice telling where the smoke is or when carbon monoxide levels are rising.

Intelligent Thermostat

Smart thermostats are home automation devices responsible for controlling a home's heating, and sometimes air conditioning. They allow the user to control the temperature of their home throughout the day using a schedule, such as setting a lower temperature at night.

Interactive Video

Interactive video is a type of digital video that supports user interaction. These videos play like regular video files but include clickable areas, or hotspots, that perform an action when you click on them.

Inter-Integrated Circuit

I2C, pronounced I-squared-C, is a serial bus that provides communication between sensors and microcontrollers such as the Arduino. It is typically used for attaching lower-speed peripheral ICs to processors and microcontrollers.

Internet of Everything

Internet of Everything (IoE) subtly distinguishes itself by emphasizing the connection of people to things. It is a philosophy in which technology's future is comprised of many different types of appliances, devices, and items connected to the global Internet.

Internet of Things

A network of physical objects that contain embedded technology to communicate and sense or interact with their internal states or the external environment.
