  "description": "Commodity IoT Gateways refers to a class of low-cost, standardized hardware devices used to bridge the communication gap between local IoT sensors/devices and cloud-based applications. These devices typically prioritize cost-efficiency and broad protocol support (like MQTT, Zigbee, or LoRaWAN) over specialized features or proprietary branding.",
