A Fog Architecture for IoT

A Fog Architecture for IoT refers to a network design where processing and decision-making are distributed closer to the devices, sensors, and end-users, rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. This approach reduces latency, bandwidth use, and improves real-time responses. Imagine smart homes, factories, or cities where data from devices is handled locally, ensuring faster and more reliable performance. Fog computing enhances security and efficiency, making IoT systems more responsive and scalable by moving some processing tasks to nearby local nodes instead of distant data centers.
