Abstract

Described herein is a gateway for sensor data forwarding, including first communication circuitry adapted to receive sensor data from at least one sensor data source, processing circuitry connected to the first communication circuitry and adapted to collect and buffer the sensor data and to execute programs, which map a communication protocol, second communication circuitry connected to the processing circuitry and arranged for transmitting the collected and buffered sensor data, wherein the processing circuitry is arranged to switch on the second communication circuitry for transmitting the collected data and to switch the second communication circuitry off after transmitting the collected data.
