Protocols

Golioth supports devices that communicate via a wide array of connectivity protocols, including cellular, Wi-Fi & Ethernet, and Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE). Other protocols, such as Thread or LoRa, may be used to connect to the Golioth platform, but will typically require custom infrastructure and configuration.

Supported protocols can be broadly categorized into those that connect directly to the Golioth platform, and those that connect indirectly. Indirectly connected devices, such as those using Bluetooth LE, typically depend on one or more gateway devices that directly connect to the Golioth platform and provide a connectivity bridge.
