Telemetry use cases
Telemetry is the automated sensing, measurement of data, and control of remote devices. The emphasis is on the transmission of data from devices to a central control point. Telemetry also includes sending configuration and control information to devices.
MQ Telemetry connects small devices by using the MQTT protocol, and connects the devices to other applications by using IBM® MQ. MQ Telemetry bridges a gap between devices and the internet making it easier to build "smart solutions". Smart solutions unlock the wealth of information available on the internet, and in enterprise applications, for applications that monitor and control devices.
The following diagrams demonstrate some typical uses of MQ Telemetry:
