RADIUSdesk MQTT Implementation
Introduction
MESHdesk and APdesk traditionally makes use of a heartbeat system to communicate and report to the back-end.
We now also include a MQTT based implementation to allow real-time communication between the mesh nodes or access points and the back-end.
This implementation is used as a compliment to the heartbeat system, making it more robust while offering you added real-time communication.
The MQTT implementation is not compulsory in order to have a working deployment but it does offer a lot of advantages.
It is ideal for hardware that is used in a IOT environment where you need immediate execution of commands.
