Internet of Things (IoT)

Most pundits in the industry predicated that there will be more than 200 billion devices by 2020, connected to the Internet, or some would call the "cloud". This is described as the era of Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT is a big collection of smart sensors, networks, servers, and services that interact among them. This trend applies to all sectors or markets, and it is a way to automate, control, and manage factory, home, transportation, energy, medical/healthcare facility, etc. All layers of networks, from applications, middleware, virtualization, connectivity, and devices, will contribute to realize the full power of IoT.

For edge connectivity, the intelligent gateways play a major role in between the devices and the cloud in building the path for, collecting data from the devices for analysis, and forwarding the instructions from the upend servers to activate the devices. For IoT gateway application concept, it can apply to many circumstances, for example:

Smart Farming

The IoT is to provide growers with the ability to precisely monitor and control applications of water and nutrients to plants in these production settings, based upon daily plant requirements, which can reduce the volume and cost of inputs, increase profitability, reduce the environmental impacts of nursery and greenhouse production.

Smart Home

The IoT is incorporated to connect various smart home appliances, and an IoT connection management platform is required to enable various applications. These applicable solutions include: home health, entertainment, security, and home automation, which idyllically promotes a safer, happier, and more comfortable and convenient lifestyle.

Smart Factory

The IoT can connect factory equipment, linking a wide number of systems for monitoring and control by human operators at control centers or via the cloud, delivering greater efficiency and competitiveness.


To leverage the current internet infrastructure, an intelligent IoT gateway is developed for the purpose of connecting legacy and new equipment, from garage door opener, vending machine, cooling or heating devices to industrial robot and wind turbine, to get the data from them, and in return to control them intelligently based on the instructions or analytical results from the connected servers.
