IoT: Choosing Between UDP, TCP, Modbus, and the Dwindling IPv4 Era

Introduction In the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), the communication method is the “soul dialogue” between devices. The choice of which “language” you use often directly determines whether they work in harmony or talk past each other. IoT communication can actually be viewed from two levels:Physical Layer and Application Layer. The previous section … Read more

IoT Communication Protocols: A Quick Guide to the "Language Translators" of Devices

Today, we are going to talk about the secret language that allows devices to “speak”—the IoT communication protocols. Don’t be intimidated by this technical term; they are essentially the “WeChat” and “WhatsApp” of the device world, with some being energy-efficient, some being fast, and others being social butterflies (supporting multi-device chatting). 1. IoT Protocols: The … Read more
