Gateways

End-to-end connectivity between edge devices and web services may be provided by a series of physical and cloud gateways, each aggregating larger quantities of data. Dell, Intel, and other companies market IoT gateways. Companies such as Systech offer multi-protocol gateways that allow for many types of IoT devices to be connected together, using multiple antennas and receivers. There are also consumer-focused gateways, also called hubs, available in the commercial market, that support smart home communications. The Samsung SmartThings hub is one example of this.
