Why use a white label IoT gateway for your wireless system?
Are you looking for a gateway for your IoT system? Have you considered choosing a white label gateway?
With a white label IoT gateway, you can get a mature gateway for your wireless system without having the required development resources in-house. You will save a tremendous amount of time in getting your system on the market and meeting the market demands.
To help you explore the option of using a white label product further, here is an overview of how white labeling works and the benefits of including a white label gateway in an IoT system.
What is an IoT gateway?
If you are exploring the possibilities of getting a gateway for your IoT system, you are probably already quite familiar with the term “IoT gateway”. However, to make sure we are aligned, here is a brief description.
An IoT gateway is the heart of an IoT solution as it connects devices within the Internet of Things. In other words, IoT gateways facilitate device-to-device and device-to-cloud communications.
The hardware of IoT gateways houses software that can perform numerous tasks, including translating the communication between devices using different wireless protocols and filtering of data to ensure that only useful information is sent to the cloud.
With an IoT gateway as part of an intelligent system, a layer of security is added between the connected devices and the internet, mitigating cyber threats and keeping the data private.
In sum, an IoT gateway allows you to provide different IoT-enabled services and features to your customers with just one system.
