A company has placed multiple sensors throughout a production facility. They require a single device to gather each sensor's readings, filter anomalies, and then transfer key metrics to a remote service for deeper analysis. Which component is deployed to manage all data locally and ensure secure transmission offsite?
A gateway aggregates data from each sensor, applies preliminary filtering, and transmits relevant information to an external location for further evaluation. A router forwards network traffic but does not coordinate sensor outputs. A firewall focuses on permitting or denying traffic based on security policies, rather than consolidating sensor streams. A Wi-Fi access point offers local wireless connectivity but does not handle data analysis or secure data transfer offsite.
