IoT gateways on Ubuntu

From industrial automation and building control to transportation and healthcare, gateways connect sensors and actuators to clouds while providing edge analytics and intelligence. Offload decision making to the gateway to ensure continuity and low-latency, and reduce the cost of backhaul for low-value data.

Ubuntu Core offers a secure, reliable and remotely upgradeable platform for intelligent edge devices.
