Abstract
A system that translates between Internet of Things (IoT) protocols and Internet name management protocols (domain name system—DNS) so as to allow the secure exchange of short messages through WiFi hotspots. Applications include but are not limited to remote configuration, control, tracking, telemetry, synchronization, emergency communication. The system is operated as an independent service or is integrated into hotspot or IoT management operations for public use or private use in an enterprise or home. The widespread installed base of hotspots, standardized IoT and DNS protocols allows the IoT ecosystem as a whole to immediately reap the benefits of greater communication capabilities.
