MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight publish-subscribe protocol designed for IoT applications. It allows IoT devices to send and receive messages to and from the cloud efficiently and reliably.

Which of the following is a short-range wireless technology commonly used for IoT devices in close proximity?

  1. Wi-Fi

  2. Bluetooth

  3. Zigbee

  4. NFC


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over short distances. It is commonly used for IoT devices such as wearables, sensors, and home automation devices.

What is the name of the protocol used for communication between IoT devices on a local area network (LAN)?

  1. Wi-Fi

  2. Ethernet

  3. Zigbee

  4. NFC


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Ethernet is a wired LAN technology that allows devices to communicate with each other over a physical cable. It is commonly used for IoT devices that require high bandwidth and low latency, such as industrial automation and building management systems.

Which of the following is a type of IoT network architecture that connects devices directly to the internet without the need for a central gateway?

  1. Star

  2. Mesh

  3. Bus

  4. Ring


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A mesh network is a type of IoT network architecture where devices communicate with each other directly, forming a self-healing and self-organizing network. This architecture is often used in applications where devices are spread over a wide area and there is no central point of control.

What is the name of the protocol used for communication between IoT devices and a central gateway?

  1. MQTT

  2. HTTP

  3. Zigbee

  4. LoRaWAN


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Zigbee is a wireless mesh networking protocol designed for low-power IoT devices. It allows devices to communicate with each other and with a central gateway, enabling data collection and control.

Which of the following is a type of IoT network architecture where devices are connected to a central gateway, which then connects to the internet?

  1. Star

  2. Mesh

  3. Bus

  4. Ring


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A star network is a type of IoT network architecture where devices are connected to a central gateway, which then connects to the internet. This architecture is commonly used in applications where devices are located in a centralized area and there is a need for a single point of control.

What is the name of the protocol used for communication between IoT devices and a cellular network?

  1. MQTT

  2. HTTP

  3. GPRS

  4. EDGE


Correct Option: C

  1. MQTT

  2. HTTP

  3. Iridium

  4. Globalstar


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iridium is a satellite network that provides global coverage for IoT devices. It is commonly used in applications where devices need to transmit data from remote locations where there is no cellular or Wi-Fi connection available.

Which of the following is a type of IoT network architecture where devices are connected to each other in a circular fashion?

  1. Star

  2. Mesh

  3. Bus

  4. Ring


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A ring network is a type of IoT network architecture where devices are connected to each other in a circular fashion. This architecture is commonly used in applications where devices are located in a closed loop and there is a need for continuous communication.
