Carrier-Grade End-to-End IoT Telemetry: TLS 1.3, MQTT & Edge Failover

Production-grade cellular (LTE-M/NB-IoT) gateway pipeline featuring mutual TLS authentication, delta OTA updates, and SQLite local queue persistence during connectivity drops.

High-Reliability Telemetry at the Physical Edge When managing fleets of thousands of industrial switches and telematics units, connectivity cuts are guaranteed. A robust gateway architecture must guarantee zero telemetry loss.

Failover Queue Architecture We implemented a circular flash ring-buffer capable of buffering up to 72 hours of compressed sensor metrics. Upon reconnecting to the MQTT broker, burst-rate regulation prevents DDoS throttling while back-filling historical telemetry seamlessly.
