FAQ
Frequently asked questions
MQTT combines compact messages with publish-subscribe communication. It suits remote assets with limited bandwidth; QoS and session settings help manage delivery across intermittent connections.
Industrial gateways collect equipment data and publish it over MQTT. EMQX routes the resulting events to subscribed applications or supported databases, streaming platforms, and cloud services.
Clustering and configurable message delivery help reduce disruption to operational data flows. Design and test the full deployment against the availability, latency, and recovery requirements of each application.
EMQX supports TLS encryption, client authentication, and topic-level authorization. Configure certificates, passwords, or JWTs to verify field devices and applications, then restrict which MQTT topics each client can publish or subscribe to.
