An IoT gateway device bridges the gap of communication that exists between IoT devices, equipment, sensors, and the cloud. It systematically connects the cloud and the field by offering storage solutions to local processing. Also, it can independently regulate field devices based on the sensor’s data input.
An Edge Gateway assembles at the edge systems intersection, amongst the local and external internet and the local intranet used by the other devices in an environment. Therefore, an edge gateway acts as a network connectivity entrance point, both inside and outside the device environment.
