IoT Gateway Explained: Features and Benefits - johnharry24 - 08-19-2025
An IoT gateway is a key device that connects IoT sensors and devices to the cloud, enabling smooth communication and data flow. It acts as a bridge between the physical world and digital platforms by collecting, filtering, and transmitting data in real time. With advanced processing capabilities, IoT gateways can perform edge computing, which reduces latency and improves decision-making speed. They also enhance network security by encrypting data before it reaches cloud servers. In industries like water management, manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities, IoT gateways help ensure seamless integration of connected devices, efficient utility management, and reliable monitoring solutions.
