Transforms

Edge processing via “Transforms”

GATE-Ware can be configured to apply custom transforms to the LoRa uplink payload. This is useful for performing custom operations on the LoRa uplink data, and even selectively transmitting only the data that you want to keep.

Why process data in a costly cloud service?

You can use custom transforms to convert the payload to a different format, or to perform calculations on the payload, or even perform actions directly on the gateway.

We’ve even had customers write transforms that perform lengthy calculations and averages, moving most of their business logic out of the cloud and onto the Conduit - reducing backend costs a by a great amount.
