From the rise of the IoT concept to nowadays, realising IoT become more concrete and possible since many new technologies emerge and many existing technologies are developed to be mature. Some of these technologies are key enabling technologies, which the integration of them is driving the visions of IoT. These key enabling technologies can be divided into several categories: (1) Identification technologies including (but not limited to) RFID, Near Field Communication (NFC) and barcode system; (2) Sensing technology including (but not limited to) WSN and WSAN; (3) Communication technologies including (but not limited to) Ethernet, WiFi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, UWB, WiMax and Cellular Network;(4) Addressing scheme including (but not limited to) IPv6 and 6LoWPAN, (5) Cloud computing; (6) Big Data analytics. By integrating these key technologies, IoT possesses considerable potential for developing various innovative and intelligent applications in many different fields. Table 1 lists some examples of IoT applications in various fields.
