The Lightweight Messaging Protocol for IoT

MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight, publish-subscribe messaging protocol designed for efficient communication in Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Developed to connect remote devices with minimal network bandwidth and a small code footprint, MQTT has become an OASIS standard and is widely adopted across various industries.

‍

The protocol operates on a client-server model, where devices (clients) communicate through a central broker. This setup is ideal for environments with limited resources or unreliable networks, as MQTT's design emphasizes simplicity and reliability. Its publish-subscribe architecture allows for scalable and flexible communication, enabling devices to send and receive messages efficiently.

MQTT's versatility makes it suitable for a broad range of applications, including automotive systems, manufacturing processes, telecommunications, and smart home devices. Its ability to provide reliable message delivery with minimal overhead ensures that it meets the demands of modern IoT ecosystems, facilitating seamless data exchange between devices and systems.
