MQTT

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

MQTT provides a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol for IoT devices, optimized for high-latency or unreliable networks, enabling easy connection between remote devices and the cloud.

Target Customer

IoT developers, device manufacturers, system integrators, and engineers building IoT solutions requiring lightweight, efficient messaging between devices and cloud/backend systems.

Key Differentiator

Extremely lightweight publish/subscribe transport designed for small devices with minimal code footprint and bandwidth, supporting reliable delivery over unreliable networks, bi-directional device-to-cloud communications, and secure connections (TLS, OAuth). It is an OASIS standard used across a wide range of industries.

Pain Points

1Resource-constrained devices with small code footprints and limited network bandwidth
2Networks that are high-latency or unreliable, requiring efficient reconnection and persistence
3Need for scalable, secure, bi-directional messaging across large numbers of IoT devices (potentially millions)

Key Features

1Publish/subscribe messaging architecture
2Extremely small message headers and low resource requirements
3Bi-directional communications between device and cloud
4QoS levels: 0 (at most once), 1 (at least once), 2 (exactly once)
5Security options including TLS encryption and modern authentication protocols such as OAuth
6Ability to scale to millions of IoT devices

Target Customer Industries

Competitive Advantages

1Lightweight footprint suitable for small microcontrollers and devices
