What is an IoT platform?

An IoT platform is a software-based technical platform that provides the necessary components for building and operating multiple IoT solutions. IoT platforms act as a middleware layer designed to manage connected devices, collect and process their data, and enable the development and management of IoT applications and services.

An IoT platform consists of 5 distinct layers, 14 components, and 44 sub-components:

• Essentials: enable bi-directional data exchange between IoT devices and the IoT platform (southbound), and between the IoT platform and external applications or services (northbound)
• Device management: lifecycle management, monitoring, firmware & software updates, and device security — processes from device registration to retirement, tracking device health, delivering OTA updates, and enforcing security
• Data management: IoT data transformation, digital twin modeling, analytics, and data security — ensuring data quality, building digital replicas of physical assets, delivering insights, and protecting data
• Application management: application development, lifecycle management, marketplace, and application security — toolkits for building applications, enabling deployment and updates, and ensuring secure APIs
