An IoT gateway is a critical component in an Internet of Things (IoT) system. It acts as a bridge between edge devices and the cloud or other network infrastructures. IoT gateways collect data from various sensors and devices, which may use different communication protocols. The gateway then processes, filters, and translates this data into a format that can be understood by the backend systems. This translation is essential because edge devices often employ low-power, short-range protocols like Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Bluetooth, while cloud platforms typically communicate using protocols like MQTT or HTTP.
Beyond protocol translation, IoT gateways can perform local data processing and analytics. This edge computing capability
In essence, an IoT gateway aggregates, secures, and preprocesses data from the edge, making it ready for
