Optimizing IOT Integration in Libraries: Comparative Evaluation of Wired and Wireless Network Solutions

Abstract

A critical step in selecting the best solutions for integrating Internet of Things (IoT) systems into library processes is a comparative analysis of standards, protocols,hardware, and software technical characteristics. This method enables an extensive study of several alternatives for selecting the most appropriate solutions according to specific project requirements, such as performance, energy efficiency, security, scalability, and compatibility. The goal is to choose only standards, protocols, and technological solutions that organically match each other and can be integrated into a library’s infrastructure, whether they are being implemented new or already in place. It allows libraries to create a flexible and adaptable system to changing project requirements or operational conditions.
