G16Y INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY SPECIALLY ADAPTED FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS [IoT]
Introduced: January 2020
Description
G16Y covers ICT systems, methods, and technologies specifically designed for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, encompassing interconnected networked devices, sensors, and smart systems that collect, transmit, and process data. This classification addresses IoT-specific challenges including device communication protocols, data management architectures, security frameworks, and software platforms tailored for resource-constrained environments. Technologies covered include sensor networks, machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, edge computing, and cloud integration for IoT ecosystems. Related classifications such as H04L (digital information transmission) and G06F (computing systems) provide broader coverage of general networking and computational methods that may support IoT but are not IoT-specific.
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 4 subcodes exist in both systems.
IPC defines codes here since 2020.
