Processing

Decode

During the optional decoding phase the device specific data protocol is transformed to the universal language of SenML. This is called decoding. Decoding for KPN Things devices and custom devices that use the KPN Things client libraries is taken care of automatically. Therefor there is automatic compatibility with the enrichment phase.

Decoders & Encoders

Enrich

In future releases KPN will introduce data enrichment functionality in KPN Things Data Management.

Destination support

After processing your data will be forwarded to one or more Destinations you have configured.
