Description

AWS IoT Core is a managed service provided by Amazon designed to help users connect, manage, and process data from large-scale IoT devices. It supports efficient communication between devices and the cloud and integrates deeply with various AWS services such as data storage, computing, and machine learning. With AWS IoT Core, users can build automated response mechanisms, real-time monitoring systems, and intelligent control platforms to enhance device intelligence and operational efficiency. The service offers high scalability and security, making it suitable for IoT applications in industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, transportation, and energy.

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to use simple configuration parameters to connect the UG65 gateway to the AWS IoT Core platform.

Requirement

Gateway Model: UG65 (UG56, UG67 also supported)
