OVERVIEW

What we do here.

The gateway is where most IoT projects actually fail. Devices and business systems rarely speak the same language, and site connections drop, so anything pushing straight from a device loses data quietly and nobody notices for weeks.

A gateway translates between protocols, buffers readings while the link is down and sends them when it returns. That is unglamorous and it is the difference between a dataset you can trust and one with holes in it.

Where your existing equipment speaks a documented protocol we read from it rather than replacing it, because replacing hardware is the expensive option. Gateways are built to be updated and monitored remotely, since sending somebody to a site to reboot something costs more than the hardware.

COMMON QUESTIONS

The questions we get asked about IoT Gateways

Because devices and your systems rarely speak the same language, and site connections are unreliable. The gateway translates, buffers and retries, which is where most IoT projects fall over.

Readings are stored and sent when the link returns. That is the entire point of having one rather than pushing straight from the device.

Usually, if the equipment speaks a documented protocol. Reading from existing kit is much cheaper than replacing it.

No. Gateways are built to be updated and monitored remotely, because sending somebody to a site to reboot something is expensive.
