Gateway To IoT
While data analytics tools, the cloud and connected devices are essential in making up an Internet of Things offering, the gateway is also vital.
The gateway – which has capabilities such as device connectivity, protocol translation, data filtering and processing and security – is an important piece of tying IoT together.
IoT gateways are built on chipsets that feature low-power connectivity and may be rugged for critical conditions. Some gateways also focus on fog computing applications, where customers need critical data so that machines can make split-second decisions.
Following are five gateways for solution providers to check out when getting ready to deploy an Internet of Things solution.
