IoT Cloud Integration and Protocol Conversion

Soracom's platform has a built-in cloud adapter service, connecting devices to cloud services securely without extra security measures, additional development resources, and minimum device processor requirements to handle onboard encryption. Transmitting data from IoT devices directly into a cloud platform can be a game-changer for connected applications, significantly reducing reliance on 3rd-party APIs or scripts and helping to reduce IoT data consumption.

The Soracom Funnel IoT cloud adapter enables transmitted data from the hardware to be ingested automatically by the preferred cloud service without a relay server, SDK installation, or on-device credentials required. This simple frictionless platform service works with virtually any IoT device using a Soracom IoT SIM and supports cloud services including AWS IoT, Amazon Kinesis, Amazon Kinesis Firehose, Microsoft Azure Event Hubs, and Google Cloud Pub/Sub.

The connection between a device and the Soracom platform is already secured enabling devices to use lighter HTTP, TCP, and UDP protocols and backward compatibility for legacy devices that use SMS or USSD. Soracom automatically converts traffic to required secure protocols for delivery to the user's cloud service reducing monthly data fees without compromising security or performance and drastically extending the operational life of battery-powered devices.
