IoT Connector Architecture

IoT Connector Overview

Savitri Network implements a comprehensive IoT connector that enables seamless integration between IoT devices and blockchain infrastructure. The connector provides secure, scalable, and efficient communication channels for IoT data streams, device management, and real-time processing.

Technology Choice Rationale

Why Dedicated IoT Connector

Problem Statement: Traditional blockchain systems are not designed for high-frequency, low-latency IoT data streams, leading to performance bottlenecks, high costs, and poor user experience for IoT applications.

Chosen Solution: Dedicated IoT connector with optimized data ingestion, batch processing, and edge computing capabilities.

Rationale:

  • Performance: Optimized for high-frequency IoT data streams
  • Cost Efficiency: Batch processing reduces transaction costs
  • Scalability: Edge computing and data aggregation
  • Security: Device authentication and data integrity

Expected Results:

  • 1000x improvement in IoT data processing throughput
  • 90% reduction in transaction costs through batching
  • Sub-second latency for critical IoT operations
  • Enterprise-grade security for IoT ecosystems

Why Edge Computing Integration

Problem Statement: Sending every IoT reading directly to blockchain is inefficient and expensive, creating unnecessary network congestion and costs.

Chosen Solution: Edge computing integration with local data processing, intelligent filtering, and selective blockchain submission.

Rationale:

  • Efficiency: Local processing reduces blockchain load
  • Cost Reduction: Only important data is submitted
  • Latency: Critical operations handled locally
  • Reliability: Offline operation capability

Expected Results:

  • 95% reduction in blockchain transactions
  • Millisecond response times for local operations
  • Improved system reliability and uptime
  • Lower operational costs
