Gateways often do edge processing, handling data right at the edge before it ever leaves the local network. By filtering, aggregating, and transforming data locally, they send only meaningful information to the cloud, reducing bandwidth use, lowering latency, and helping protect privacy. This is why local data filtering and processing best illustrates a gateway’s capability before transmission. Transmitting raw data skips this processing step, sending everything as-is; sending only to the cloud implies no local handling; and ignoring security would be unsafe and not a capability a gateway should exhibit. For example, the gateway can discard noisy or out-of-range readings, compute averages, and then transmit a concise result instead of every raw sample.
