Gateway

IoT gateway carries the responsibility to ensure bidirectional communication between IoT pro-

tocols and various networks. It can be seen as a middle man who is tasked to act as a translator

for any network protocol and acts like a glue that holds all the sensors and devices with other

components of IoT.

Gateways are sometimes programmed to execute some processing operations. This pro-

cessing is applied on all the collected data which is collected by sensors and forwarded to gate-

ways. After applying its pre-programmed set of operations; gateways transmit the processed

data to the next layer. Sometimes, the programming of processing is necessary when dealing

with protocols like TCP./IP.
