IoT Gateways
A comparison directory of Internet of Things (IoT) gateway hardware and software. Review specs and vendor offerings
Gateways are emerging as a key element of bringing legacy and next-gen devices to the Internet of Things (IoT). They integrate protocols for networking, help manage storage and edge analytics on the data, and facilitate data flow securely between edge devices and the cloud.
The following guide will help you:
- Give list of background articles on the shifting balance between cloud and edge computing and best practices in processing and filtering the streaming data from an IoT deployment.
- Narrow down on solution provider based on hardware specs and software support
- Identify Gateway and Edge Intelligence software solutions for your deployment.

What are IoT Gateways?
IoT gateways are devices positioned between edge systems and the cloud. They perform functions such as protocol translation, data processing/storage/filtering, and device security. Modern IoT gateways also play an increasingly import role in helping to provide edge analytics so that only the most important information and alerts are sent up to the cloud to be acted upon.
