What’s MQTT? 

MQTT is a machine-to-machine (M2M)/"Internet of Things" connectivity protocol. It was designed

as an extremely lightweight publish/subscribe messaging transport. It is useful for connections

with remote locations where a small code footprint is required and/or network bandwidth is at a

premium. For example, it has been used in sensors communicating to a broker via satellite link,

over occasional dial-up connections with healthcare providers, and in a range of home automation

and small device scenarios. It is also ideal for mobile applications because of its small size, low

power usage, minimised data packets, and efficient distribution of information to one or many

receivers.

Dusun gateway supports MQTT protocol to connect to cloud platform, Please refer to the frame

below
