Breaking the Tower of Babel in IoT

Just as the Tower of Babel story symbolizes the confusion of many languages, today’s IoT landscape faces a similar challenge: devices speak different protocols, and they often cannot understand each other.

This protocol fragmentation creates silos, slows down integration, and drives up costs. MAPS Messaging eliminates these barriers with a universal protocol translation layer that allows every device, service, and application to communicate seamlessly.

Our Solution​

MAPS Messaging provides:

  • Protocol Bridging — translate messages between any supported protocols
  • Enterprise Reliability & Security — built-in fault tolerance, authentication, and encryption
  • Scalable Architecture — runs on edge devices or large-scale clusters
  • Future-Proof Design — extensible for emerging protocols and standards

For the complete list of supported protocols, see Protocol Overview.

Why Protocol Translation Matters​

In real-world IoT environments:

  • Devices use different protocols (MQTT, AMQP, CoAP, etc.)
  • Legacy systems must continue working alongside modern deployments
  • Industries have protocol-specific preferences (e.g., NATS for cloud, NMEA for marine, Orbcomm for satellite)
  • New protocols emerge as technology evolves

Without translation, each protocol requires a separate data pipeline — leading to duplication, complexity, and cost. With MAPS Messaging, everything integrates into one unified messaging fabric.

What This Means for You​

By breaking down protocol barriers, MAPS Messaging enables:

  • Faster integration of new devices and services
  • Reduced infrastructure and operational costs
  • Unified data pipelines across cloud, edge, and satellite
  • Future-ready IoT systems that adapt to emerging standards

MAPS Messaging turns protocol diversity from a challenge into an advantage.
