Base Network in the Context of IoT (Internet of Things)
In IoT networks, a base network can refer to the core communication network that connects the various IoT devices (sensors, actuators, etc.) to the cloud or a centralized server. This base network enables the transmission of data between IoT devices, often through technologies like LoRaWAN, 5G, or Wi-Fi.

Key Components of a Base Network
No matter the context, some components are central to a base network:

Infrastructure: Whether it’s telecom base stations, blockchain nodes, or data centers, a base network requires a solid physical and virtual infrastructure to provide connectivity and support.

Protocols and Standards: Base networks rely on specific protocols and standards to enable communication. For example, in blockchain, consensus mechanisms (like Proof of Work or Proof of Stake) are part of the base network’s operation. Similarly, in telecommunications, protocols like TCP/IP for the internet or LTE for mobile networks are fundamental.
