MQTT Summary
MQTT is a widely adopted, lightweight open protocol which provides a transport layer in IoT architectures. Using
Publish & Subscribe methodology, it decouples the users of data from the producers of that data. This allows
extremely flexible and scalable data exchange architectures systems to be constructed, which use semantic
principles to move the users’ focus away from how to move the data between systems, and towards how the
available data may be combined to produce business benefit.
