Definition
The Message Queuing Telemetry Transport ( MQTT ) protocol and its secure counterpart MQTTS are protocols of messaging allowing the communication between machines ( M2M ) or on connections specific to the Internet of Things ( IoT ). They allow data sharing on networks with a low bandwidth as well as a low reliability . To communicate, they use a broker , a relay program receiving information in order to transmit it to customers. These protocols are oriented event , which means that data is only transmitted when there is information to transmit, limiting Thus bandwidth usage . MQTT therefore allows you to communicate reliably and efficiently on limited networks, and this in a secure manner for MQTTS.
Main applications of MQTT and MQTTS protocols
The protocols MQTT And MQTTS find their applications primarily in the oil and gas industry. Indeed, it was necessary to have a protocol requiring a bandwidth consumption and of reduced battery . Today, they are used to connect different Internet of Things ( IoT ) devices in various industries. For example, they are used by services such as AWS or Microsoft to upload customer data to their cloud platform.
Essential products compatible with MQTT and MQTTS protocols
To integrate MQTT and MQTTS into your system, several product options are available, tailored to various specific needs and requirements:
4G and 5G industrial routers
Router offering high flexibility and increased reliability for communication systems.
IoT and LoRaWAN Gateways
These devices act as intermediaries to convert signals from the MQTT protocol to more modern ones such as Ethernet, making the data accessible and manageable through IoT platforms.
