Why edge gateways matter when your connectivity does not

Cloud-first IoT architectures fail at the edge — not because the cloud is unreliable, but because last-mile connectivity is intermittent by physics, not by vendor SLA.

Lavin Edge gateways buffer telemetry locally with configurable retention policies, compressing and prioritizing alerts before cloud sync. Critical alarms reach operators via Lavin Connect even when the upstream link is down.

For procurement teams, edge resilience is a data integrity requirement, not a nice-to-have. Audit trails must be complete even across connectivity gaps.
