Gateway Agent
The relayr Gateway Agent is the edge computing software component of the relayr platform. It addresses the challenges related to the volume, variety and velocity of data produced by IoT devices. The Gateway Agent provides protocol translation, data filtering, aggregation and caching capabilities to unify communication and optimize the amount of data transferred to the relayr Cloud.
The relayr Gateway Agent runs on the network edge devices deployed on customer premises providing local device and data management capabilities. It works close to where data is generated by sensors and/or actuators to analyze the most time-sensitive data and react in milliseconds according to a predefined policy.
The relayr Gateway Agent is designed to streamline and accelerate the development of end-to-end applications and at the same time to minimize the technical skills required to deploy new solutions on the Edge.
It has a highly modular architecture and each of its components can be purchased independently. See the Gateway Agent Components section for an overview of available Gateway Agent components. There are several variants of the Gateway Agent architecture that can be deployed, depending on a specific use case. See the Gateway Agent Architecture Variants section for more information.
