Our view on IoT software
IoT software comes in many forms including middleware tools, individual open-source components, custom-made code, and modular IoT platforms that sit in the cloud or at the edge.
An IoT platform is a specialized software tool that is used for building and managing IoT solutions.
IoT Analytics classifies IoT platforms into four distinctly different layers that, in total, can consist of up to several components and subcomponents.
The four main layers of an IoT Platform:
- Application management/enablement
- Data management/enablement
- Telco management
- Device management
