Gateways, the versatile devices that act as communication hubs, facilitating seamless connectivity between disparate networks or protocols. These devices serve as intermediaries, translating and enabling the exchange of data between networks with different architectures, communication protocols, or data formats. Gateways play a crucial role in connecting networks that utilize various technologies, such as integrating traditional wired networks with wireless ones or enabling communication between different industrial automation systems. They often support multiple communication standards, including Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and more, ensuring compatibility across a broad spectrum of devices and technologies.
