Listeners receive all event traffic on either a HTTP, UDP or batch FTP connection, acknowledge receipt from the device and then queue the event for processing by the device adapter.

The intrinsically high volume of data produced by large populations of M2M devices, often exacerbated by event queueing during even short term connectivity outages, demands extreme performance and load processing capacity.

The Listeners are the first stage in M2M Suite's multi-stage processor, designed to accommodate large spikes in traffic with minimumal dependencies on other technologies, delivering a high level of resilience during outage and load conditions.
