An Approach to Design a Multi-Protocol Gateway Device for Internet of Things System

Abstract

Due to the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) system in both the number of devices and the connection technologies, new extremely high criteria for data processing speed, bandwidth and security have been developed. One of the solutions to achieve those requirements is to use a device that integrates multiple communicating protocols (IoT gateway) at the edge of the IoT system. The paper introduces an approach to design this device based on an embedded computing platform that connects different protocols of ZigBee and LoRa sensor networks. The experimental results have proved the feasibility of the proposed method.
