The decisions that matter before an MQTT edge gateway leaves the lab: protocol drivers, buffering, namespaces, quality, security, and ownership.
Edge Computing
Edge gateways, industrial PCs, and on-premise compute for the plant floor.
Use latency, availability, bandwidth, data gravity, and governance to decide which analytics belong beside the machine and which can travel farther.
Protocol conversion, buffering, and context at the edge — the four gateway patterns that connect legacy equipment to modern platforms.
