FAQ
Frequently asked questions
EMQX provides TLS, authentication, and topic access controls. HIPAA compliance depends on the complete deployment, applicable agreements, and your organization’s safeguards and practices.
MQTT uses compact messages and publish-subscribe communication, making it useful for devices with limited bandwidth. Configure QoS, sessions, and application handling for your delivery requirements.
Use an application adapter to map device readings to the EHR’s supported interface and data model. EMQX routes MQTT events to that adapter through subscriptions or a supported integration.
EMQX distributes MQTT connections and message routing across broker nodes. Size and test the deployment for your expected device count, update frequency, payload sizes, and subscriber fan-out, then add capacity as workloads grow.
