[Video] The Curious case of ‘Off-the-Shelf’ v/s ‘Custom Built’ IoT Gateway

The decision to choose between an ‘off the shelf’ and a ‘custom developed IoT gateway’ can get quite tricky.

After listening to the rather contrary view-points of the advocates of these two approaches, you may find it difficult to figure out what is best for your IoT Project.

Some experts would suggest an off the shelf IoT gateway due to faster time to market and ease of certification process. While others may suggest a custom developed solution owing to more freedom in design, Flexible form factor, Ownership of IP rights etc.

It is imperative for you to understand which is best suited for your specific business use-case, Build or Buy?
