Internship Title:
Implementation and Analysis of Wireless Communication Technologies in
Embedded IoT Systems
Domain: Embedded Systems and IoT Applications
Work Based Internship On: Wireless Communication Technologies
Duration: July 1, 2025 – October 1, 2025
Description:
This internship focused on implementing and analyzing wireless
communication technologies within embedded and IoT systems. The project
involved developing a small scale prototype integrating low power wireless
protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee to demonstrate efficient
remote data transmission. By integrating sensors with microcontrollers and
enabling data transmission through these networks, I learned how embedded
systems form the backbone of modern IoT infrastructure. The internship
enhanced understanding of how embedded systems interact through
wireless networks in modern IoT ecosystems.
