provided by a mobile telecommunications company. However, it can
also refer to devices that connect to Wi-Fi (especially when they can

connect automatically), devices that share data connectivity from a
wireless telco service (such as a mobile hot spot), and devices with RJ-
45 jacks to receive a standard Ethernet cable for a wired connection.
Network-enabled devices include smartphones, mobile phones,
tablets, smart TVs, set-top boxes, or an HDMI stick streaming media
players (such as a Roku Player, Amazon Fire TV, or Google Android
TV/Chromecast), network-attached printers, game systems, and much

more.

In some cases, network-enabled devices might include

equipment supporting Bluetooth, NFC, and other radio-based
connection technologies. Additionally, some vendors offer devices
to add network capabilities to devices that are not network enabled
on their own. These add-on devices might be viewed as network-
enabled devices themselves (or more specifically, network-
enabling devices) and their resultant enhanced device might be

deemed a network-enabled device.

Cyber-physical systems refer to devices that offer a computational
means to control something in the physical world. In the past these
might have been referred to as embedded systems, but the category of
cyber-physical seems to focus more on the physical world results
rather than the computational aspects. Cyber-physical devices and
systems are essentially key elements in robotics and sensor networks.
Basically, any computational device that can cause a movement to

occur in the real world is considered a robotic element, whereas any
such device that can detect physical conditions (such as temperature,
light, movement, and humidity) is a sensor. Examples of cyber-
physical systems include prosthetics to provide human augmentation
or assistance, collision avoidance in vehicles, air traffic control
coordination, precision in robot surgery, remote operation in

hazardous conditions, and energy conservation in vehicles, equipment,
mobile devices, and buildings.
