Description: Gateway Protocols are a set of rules and standards that facilitate communication between Internet of Things (IoT) devices and the internet network through gateways. These gateways act as intermediaries, allowing IoT devices, which often use different communication protocols, to connect and transmit data to the cloud or other devices. The importance of these protocols lies in their ability to ensure interoperability among heterogeneous devices, optimizing data transfer and improving the efficiency of IoT networks. Additionally, gateway protocols are fundamental for security in IoT, as they can implement authentication and encryption measures, thus protecting the integrity and confidentiality of transmitted information. In an environment where the number of connected devices continues to grow, these protocols become essential for effectively and securely managing communication, ensuring that data flows smoothly between devices and management platforms.
