IoT is considered as a global network of things, having a distinct identity, and these are interconnected via a wide range of the network to exchange data and present it into vital information. IoT is an emerging technology that shaping the development of the ICT sector at large. The Internet of Things can also be considered as a uniquely recognizable smart object and their virtual representation in an Internet-like structure. To interchange data, IoT resources using the internet makes use of multiple interconnected technologies like Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) and Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Also, integration of IoT with cloud provides improved services to end-user. For beneficence to the growing body of research on IoT, authors have presented the four-layered architecture of IoT, services offered by IoT, current IoT applications as well as issues and challenges of IoT technology in detai
