1. Why gateways are required in an IoT
solution? An IoT gateway bridges the
communication gap between devices, sensors,
equipment, systems and the cloud. By
systematically connecting the cloud, IoT gateway
offer local processing and storage, as well as an
ability to autonomously control field devices
based on data inputs by sensors. IoT gateways
also enable customers to securely aggregate,
process and filter data for analysis. It helps
ensure that the federated data generated by
devices and systems can travel securely and
safely from the edge to the cloud. 2. What is the
biggest challenge in creating an IoT gateway
solution? The biggest challenge lies in enabling
interoperability by supporting multiple
connectivity sensor protocols, like Z-Wave,
ZigBee, BLE, Wi-Fi, BACnet etc. The connected
sensors and devices, in an IoT ecosystem, should
be able to seamlessly intercommunicate with other
devices through the Gateway or send the required
data to the cloud.

3. How to secure the IoT Gateway? Security should
be an integral component in any IoT ecosystem.
Active and passive network attacks, including
device monitoring, eavesdropping, man-in-the
middle and jamming are few common examples of
attacks.  The need here is to safeguard the IoT
assets, through the use of complete IoT device
life cycle management controls and a layered
security approach.  Layered security should
include network security, application security,
device security and physical security.  Security
strategy should ensure secured connectivity
to IoT gateway along with payload encryption,
device identity using certificates, and
encryption of data at rest and in transit. 4. How
IoT Gateways helps in Device Lifecycle Management
(DLM)? At present connected device are increasing
coherently with advancement in technology.
Management of these devices become critical issue
day-by-day. IoT gateways provide a secure and
scalable channel for remote device
management. IoT gateway enables a wide range of
connection protocol, high availability, and
multi-level data security for device lifecycle
management system. The gateway helps DLM system
with real time data analysis, fault detection and
solutions, management of device up time / down
time, updating of device software remotely. It
enables device authentication, configuration,
diagnostics, and allows only authenticated
devices to connect with cloud.
