## Integration capabilities

The IIoT Platform enables interoperability with heterogeneous devices such as servers, IoT devices, cloud storage, and others. This creates a unified system that can work with a variety of data sources and devices.

Integration with different types of hardware includes:

- **Device connectivity**: enabling the system to interact with various devices.
- **Data processing**: converting data from a device-specific format to a unified format.
- **Device management**: controlling and monitoring the status of devices.

## Supported hardware types

The following sections describe the types of hardware supported by the system.

### Servers

Servers are the platform's compute and storage backbone. They are physical or virtual machines that perform calculations and store data. Examples include Linux servers (and other Unix-based operating systems), Windows servers, and cloud servers.

### IoT devices

#### Smart gas meters with telemetry

[Smart gas meters](/en/devices/vadtel-mt-g6) with a built-in telemetry module are used for household and municipal gas metering. They transmit flow-rate readings and support remote monitoring of parameters over a GSM cellular channel.

The system includes drivers for digital household gas meters.

#### Industrial telemetry units

The telemetry system based on the [VADTel unit](/en/devices) collects and transmits data from natural gas volume correctors located in hazardous areas. It sends this data to the data collection, processing, and storage server over a GSM/GPRS network at 1800/900 MHz.

The system already includes the following correctors: Elster EK and TC, and many others.

#### Household telemetry units

Household telemetry units monitor the operating parameters of household meters. They transmit the collected information over a GSM/GPRS cellular channel to the data collection server, the operator's workstation, and other users of the telemetry system.

#### Pressure and temperature sensors with rechargeable battery

[These sensors](/en/devices/vadtel-sens) are a universal solution for autonomous control and monitoring of resource-supply network parameters. They monitor operating parameters at gas facilities, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, water treatment and heat supply systems, boiler automation, and the automation of water utilities and heating stations, where increased accuracy of pressure measurement is required.
