3.2.6 IP-enabled sensors

Described image
Figure 12

Some sensors and actuators support TCP/IP, which removes the need for a controller.

The figure shows sensors and actuators connected directly to the cloud, through a gateway. In this example, the gateway performs the routing function necessary to give IP-enabled devices Internet connectivity. The data these devices generate can be transported to a regional or global server for analysis and further processing.
