Abstract:
WebSphere MQ has recently been enhanced with the MQ Telemetry (MQTT) feature to enable vast numbers of devices to connect from the edge of the network. Interconnectivity is one of the key aspects to enable a Smarter Planet. As computing devices get cheaper, smaller and more powerful, the traditional view of messaging clients is changing, and the boundaries of messaging networks are being pushed further and further. There is a need to get messages to and from new kinds of client devices: from terminals and small server devices, through hand-held devices like smart phones and PDAs, down to sensors, and tiny embedded devices.
