Introducing IOT Platform as a Service

Key Capabilities of an IOT Platform

Centralized vs. Decentralized IOT PaaS Models

Centralized IOT PaaS Model

• Smart devices talk to a central hub• The hub provides backend capabilities to smart devices• The hub manages and controls the IOT topology

Decentralized IOT Capabilities

authority

Let’s explore….
