Managing and Innovating with Offline Devices

AWS IoT

Any device can connect securelyAnyone can connect a device Getting started is easy

“Securely connect one or one-billion devices to AWS,

so they can interact with applications and other devices”

Protocols / Interaction

Device Shadow

Protocols – MQTT

MQTTS vs HTTPS:

• 93x faster throughput

• 11.89x less battery to send

• 170.9x less battery to receive

• 50% less power to keep connected

• 8x less network overhead

• OASIS standard protocol (v3.1.1)

• Lightweight, pub-sub, transport protocol

that is useful for connected devices

• MQTT is used on oil rigs, connected

trucks, and many more sensitive and

resource-sensitive scenarios.

• Customers have needed to build,

maintain and scale a broker to use

MQTT with cloud applications

Protocols – MQTT – Keep Alive

PINGREQ

PINGRESP

Although TCP/IP in theory notifies you when a socket breaks, in practice, particularly on

things like mobile and satellite links, which often “fake” TCP over the air and put

headers back on at each end, it’s quite possible for a TCP session to “black hole”, i.e. it

appears to be open still, but in fact is just dumping anything you write to it onto the floor.
