The message queuing telemetry transport (MQTT) protocol is a key contender for the most favored method of data transference. The main reason why is MQTT’s open-source design and lightweight stature ...

The MQTT protocol was invented in 1999 by Andy Stanford-Clark and Arlen Nipper to monitor oil and gas pipelines over satellite networks. Over the past several years it has become the de facto ...

Hospitals use the protocol to communicate with pacemakers and other medical devices. Oil and gas companies use MQTT to monitor thousands of miles of oil pipelines.

Given their constrained processing and memory capacities, IoT devices engage in communication with each other, as well as with edge devices and cloud servers, through specialized protocols. The two ...

MQTT-Enabled IIoT Architectures Conventional automation products and protocols typically require a rigorous configuration and hierarchy to move data from a field sensor, to a field controller, to ...

Azure Event Grid’s protocol support now includes a public preview of MQTT, with support for MQTT 5 and MQTT 3.1 unveiled at BUILD 2023. MQTT support for both incoming and outgoing messages means ...

Its version 3.1 was submitted in 2013 IBM to OASIS for standardization. Another version of MQTT is MQTT-SN, which is designed for lower-bandwidth, non-TCP networks, such as Zigbee, UDP and Bluetooth.
