Edge Computing Data Gateway Architecture

This article presents the design of an IoT communication gateway architecture aimed at collecting data from wireless sensor nodes, processing it using edge computing techniques, and distributing it to higher-level systems, such as cloud technologies. The architecture is tailored for long-term outdoor installations and incorporates a backup communication channel to enhance system reliability. The design prioritizes energy efficiency and resilience to harsh climatic conditions. To validate the system’s functionality and reliability, in-situ testing was conducted, allowing for real-world testing and generating valuable data for further system optimization.
