AWS IoT Core
At the heart of the AWS IoT offering you can find AWS IoT Core. This message broker service securely connects basically any amount of devices to the cloud.
AWS IoT Core offers three communication protocols (MQTT, HTTPS and LoRaWAN), SDKs for application and hardware development, mutual authentication and end-to-end encryption for the data and ability to filter, transform and act upon data on the fly, based on defined business rules.
Belkin has stated that they’ve reduced development cycle time by 40% and will save 30-40% in operational costs after migrating to using AWS IoT Core and FreeRTOS combination.
Our experience with the service has been positive. It is robust and straightforward to implement. Cost has not been an issue. As to the scalability, in our customer implementation supporting tens of thousands of IoT devices, AWS IoT Core has worked without hiccups.
