    IoT gateways are critical components that aggregate sensor data from various devices using different protocols. They translate between protocols, process sensor data, and send it to systems that need the data. Modern intelligent IoT gateways are full-fledged computing platforms that can perform complex on-device processing and data analysis. They sit at the intersection of edge devices and the cloud, providing secure connectivity and acting as a protocol and data bridge.

    2 IoT Gateways

    As the number of devices connected to the IoT grow in number, we see an increasing
    need to connect devices of varying functionality to the internet. One of the most
    critical components however, are devices known as the IoT gateways. An IoT gateway
    aggregates sensor data, translates between sensor protocols, processes sensor data
    before sending it onward and more. When we consider how IoT as a platform has come
    up in recent times, it is very much understandable as to why there is an increase
    in the importance of IoT gateways.

    Consider the use case of an IoT-connected office building environment. Sensors and
    the IoT equivalent of our five senses. But instead of five, these are hundreds of
    sensors with dozens of different functions, such as measuring temperature, ambient
    light, noise or sound levels, areas in the office with higher activity, the
    security systems and so on. However, when we talk of IoT as a system, sensing such
    variables is only one half. The other half lies in controlling these variables or
    systems that have a direct or indirect effect on the said variables. Such as
    turning on and off the lights, switching the air systems off if the temperature
    falls below a given threshold and so on. Each of these devices may use different
    protocols to connect, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Serial ports, Ethernet, MQTT and
    others. The requirement of these devices is ever increasing however, having
    components connect individually back to the systems that need their data is not
    often possible. Some sensors and controllers use very low energy and do not support
    energy intensive protocols like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and therefore cannot connect
    directly. Some devices generate a large amount of data that is not valuable in its
    raw form. That is exactly where IoT gateways come into picture. It performs several
    critical functions such as device connectivity, protocol translation, data
    filtering and processing, security and more. Newer IoT gateways also operate as
    platforms for application code that processes data and becomes an intelligent part
    of a device-enabled system.

    IoT gateways sit at the intersection of edge systems that is, devices controllers
    and sensors; and the cloud. When we look at traditional gateways, they have mostly
    performed protocol translation and device management functions. They were not
    intelligent, programmable devices that could perform-in-depth and complex
    processing on IoT data. Todays �smart IoT gateways, developed by various companies
    are full-fledged computing platforms running modern operating systems and they are
    called �Intelligent gateways�
    In order for us to achieve efficient results when it comes to the IoT gateways, a
    certain number of function criterions need to be met. That is:
    � Trusted connectivity and security: Ensuring the integrity of the system is
    the essential role of the IoT gateway. Especially when we have a large number of
    sensors connected to the system, the communication of these sensors need to be done
    over a secure and robust network which is provided by the IoT Gateways.

    � Protocol and data bridge: Being able to translate and transfer data among and
    between systems operating with different communications protocols and data formats
    is required since the number of devices connected to the system are varying in many
    aspects.

    � Storage and analysis: On board application development platforms and storage


    to drive intelligence and decision making closer to the device.
