Learn IoT system architectures and elements

“

- An architecture of an IoT network system is important in terms of data flows, network performance, management and maintenance. We'll take a look at some common architectures of IoT network systems and the common key elements. Although an IoT network system can be implemented as a standalone local network. In general, it may contain mains power network backbone devices and low-power end devices. These network backbone devices include routers, switches and other network appliances such as firewalls. The low-power end devices may be equipped with one or more low-power wireless connectivity options. In this example, there are three major parts. The first part is the local IoT network, consisting of low-power end devices. A local gateway connecting the end devices to an external communication network through an edge router. The second part is the communication network. Which can be a private home or enterprise network such as Wi-Fi or ethernet or an IP network such as internet or any…
