Not all streaming protocols are created equal. Some protocols are better than others at facilitating high quality communication between devices over a network. The ability of a network to transmit data between devices at the highest standard is known as quality of service (QoS). The internet, by design, does not have built-in QoS, meaning all […]

When streaming video between IoT devices, selecting the most suitable video streaming protocol is crucial. Broadly speaking, video streaming protocols are different sets of rules and standards that dictate how video data is transmitted over the internet. Essentially, video streaming protocols dictate how to segment video content into small, manageable chunks of data. These chunks […]

Google originally designed its Web Real Time Communication (WebRTC) protocol for purely browser-based communication. However, I believe WebRTC is becoming an important option as a communication protocol for IoT devices as well. Whether it’s smart home devices responding instantly to user commands or health care devices immediately transmitting critical patient data, WebRTC is now allowing […]
