An Edge Gateway is an intelligent data processing and connectivity device that sits between field equipment and cloud platforms. Unlike a traditional DTU or simple router, the Edge Gateway performs local computation, protocol translation, data filtering, event processing, and AI inference at the device layer—reducing latency and bandwidth usage while enabling real-time decision-making at the edge of the network.
