IoT Gateways in Smart Agriculture: Enabling Precision Farming
-
An IoT gateway acts as a bridge between IoT devices and the cloud or central server. It collects, processes, and transmits data from sensors, allowing real-time decision-making. Without an IoT gateway, devices would struggle to communicate efficiently, especially in large networks. These gateways improve system performance by reducing latency and offloading computation from the cloud. Security is also enhanced, as they can encrypt and filter data before transmission. Whether for industrial use or smart cities, an IoT gateway is a key component in a scalable IoT setup.
