The Internet of Things (IoT) to Cloud: Computing and Communication Gateways
Integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) with Cloud Computing is gaining importance, with the trend going on in the ubiquitous computing world to enhance productivity, cost reduction, and improve work safety protocols.
What are IoT Gateways?
Computing and communication gateways in IoT implementation play a decisive role in routing the preprocessed filtered data to cloud platforms.
But what are these IoT gateways composed of?
An IoT gateway comprises a processor, RAM, supported wireless connections, security models, operating system, and technical characteristics like I/O, GPIO, form factor, etc. This way, a gateway operates as a router, making centralized traffic management easy to control and analyze.
However, some important features of IoT gateway include scalability, connectivity, active engagements, artificial intelligence, and analyzing/sensing.
IoT Protocols
IoT communication gateways are the primary infrastructure that utilizes hundreds of protocols. IoT communication protocols help establish communication gateways from device to device or device to the cloud, ensuring secure data exchange between connected IoT devices. Read More…
