The IoT platform consists of four functional layers—the device, data, integration, and service layers. For each functional layer, let us understand the capabilities required for the IoT platform:
|
Device |
Device management capabilities supporting device registration, provisioning, and controlling access to devices. Seamless connectivity to devices to send and receive data. |
|
Data |
Management of huge volume of data transmitted between devices. Derive intelligence from data collected and trigger actions. |
|
Integration |
Collaboration of information between devices. |
|
Service |
API gateways exposing the APIs. |
