The September 20, 2022 report, authored by Nick Hayes from Ublox, addresses communication challenges prevalent in the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) systems. It delves into strategies for overcoming complexities, costs, and availability issues by advocating for solutions built on the industry-standard Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. Additionally, the report explores the advantages of utilizing MQTT for low-power sensor networks (MQTT-SN) within IoT applications. The primary insight highlights MQTT as an advantageous choice for power-constrained systems, as the protocol significantly influences message overhead, directly impacting the energy required for transmission.
