Monnit Corp. has announced the release of the ALTA Advanced Edge Gateway. The new gateway aggregates data from feature-rich Monnit Wireless Sensors to any cloud provider, such as Amazon AWS. Coupling the prominent MQTTS protocol and the IoT’s broadest sensor range, Monnit’s Edge Gateway fulfils a key IoT mission of making deployments more agile and productive.
In-the-Field Authentication of IoT Data:
The Edge Gateway features a web interface for configuring and managing Monnit Wireless Sensors, as well as designating MQTT brokers. As the Ethernet-based gateway receives sensor data, the gateway “fingerprints” the data with a cryptographic validation stamp. This authenticated data is then transmitted to a cloud broker (or multiple brokers), where it arrives in a standard format. The Edge Gateway’s integrated macros enable data configuration in virtually any format, such as JSON or XML, making it a powerful tool for data analysis and action.
As with all of Monnit’s US-made gateways, the new Edge Gateway supports Monnit’s line of 80+ ALTA long-range wireless sensors.
ALTA Edge Gateway Features
- Scalability – One gateway accommodates up to 100 wireless sensors
- Security – Data authentication via unique cryptographic validation “fingerprint”
- Robust processing – Linux UBUNTU single-board computer with a 32-bit ARM
- Redundancy – Data transmission to multiple cloud providers or MQTT servers, ensuring operational reliability in the event of server failure
