Industrial IoT Gateways and Routers Strategic Issues

Industrial IoT Gateways and Routers market trends

In addition to providing a five-year market forecast, the Industrial IoT Gateways and Routers market research provides detailed quantitative current market data and addresses key strategic issues as follows.

Leverage Synergies Between Edge and Cloud

Buyers can combine the speed and data management of edge computing with the scalability of the cloud to craft a dynamic and flexible computing environment. For example, companies can utilize edge computing to perform real-time data processing and decision making at the network edge while using cloud platforms to store historic data. These technologies have unique merit individually, but merging both functionalities into a unified paradigm can produce favorable business outcomes.

Future Proof Connectivity and Compute Strategy

Ensure that edge solutions provide the requisite north and southbound connectivity consistent with current and anticipated installations; particularly anticipated improvements for 5G and WiFi. Consistent edge connectivity is critical for all data sources: hardware, sensors, devices, cloud, data visualization, analytics, security, management, etc. MQTT, OPC UA, RestAPIs, and other standard technologies are the primary means of achieving edge-to-cloud connectivity. Ensure that your current and future edge compute requirements are aligned with the capabilities of the chosen devices’ CPU, memory, OS, and support for containers.

Consider an Ecosystem-based Approach

Larger companies with dedicated IT teams may prefer utilizing a highly customizable range of products that can serve their unique needs, but smaller players with fewer integration resources can make use of standardized products from established edge ecosystems, including those of your preferred hyperscaler. 
There are an increasing number of major suppliers who are aiming to be “one-stop shops” that guarantee all the products in a particular line function seamlessly as well as provide discounts to customers already within their ecosystem.
