Edge Gateways and Management
Edge gateways have emerged as architectural components that improve the performance of IoT networks. These gateways - essentially small servers - sit between a company’s data center or cloud and the IoT endpoints being used in the field. Different gateways will obviously be used for different tasks.
A gateway that needs to perform real-time analysis of machine-generated data from a robotics-heavy factory floor will have to be at the more capable end of the spectrum, while a device that simply tracks location data in an automated fulfillment center won’t need to be nearly so powerful.
