# Gateway
|
|
|
|
- Connects IoT devices to internet
|
|
|
|
- Operator deployed
|
|
|
|
- LTE etc
|
|
|
|
- Self-deployed
|
|
|
|
- Wi-Fi
|
|
|
|
## Roles
|
|
|
|
- Machine-to-machine connections
|
|
|
|
- Cheaper telecoms cost
|
|
|
|
- Cheaper hardware
|
|
|
|
- Not everything has to be LTE connected
|
|
|
|
- Simpler config
|
|
|
|
- Translate protocols between IoT and internet
|
|
|
|
- Processing data
|
|
|
|
- Encrypting, filtering, consolidating
|
|
|
|
- Boundary between networks
|
|
|
|
- Security
