Data Routing & Integration

Every IoT solution needs a path from device to cloud. Soracom provides multiple data routing services that handle protocol conversion, credential injection, and delivery to cloud endpoints — all without modifying device firmware.

The data flow

1. Device sends data — via HTTP, MQTT, TCP, or UDP to the Unified Endpoint
2. Soracom routes — based on Group configuration, data is directed to one or more services
3. Optional transformation — Orbit can convert binary payloads to JSON in-flight
4. Cloud delivery — Beam forwards to HTTP/MQTT endpoints, Funnel delivers to managed cloud services, Funk triggers serverless functions

Choosing the right service

• Beam — Best for forwarding to your own endpoints with protocol conversion
• Funnel — Best for managed cloud services (AWS IoT, Kinesis, Azure Event Hubs)
• Funk — Best for triggering serverless functions per message
• Orbit — Best when devices send binary data that needs transformation
