A municipal warehouse will use BLE and Zigbee sensors that must reach a city IoT platform. How should gateway placement and backhaul be designed?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Gateways are the bridges between short-range radios and the network that actually reaches the cloud. Put them where the sensors can hear them, then give them a real Ethernet or Wi-Fi path home. Random hubs and hoping phones carry telemetry is not a warehouse design.
Full Explanation
BLE and Zigbee typically require gateways or border routers that translate WPAN traffic onto IP networks. Placement must achieve reliable coverage for the sensors while the gateway itself uses planned Ethernet or enterprise Wi-Fi backhaul to the IoT platform. Opportunistic phone relays, RF-shadowed single gateways, or forcing constrained BLE devices to behave as full Wi-Fi clients are not sound municipal warehouse architectures.
