IoT SDK
Add real-time audio & video engagement to smart devices
Enable live voice and video streams on IoT devices
Agora’s IoT SDK provides high-reliability, low-latency, and cost-effective RTC services for global IoT devices.
Optimize RTC performance
Full-stack end-to-end solution designed for embedded systems on low-power IoT devices and companion apps—compatible with mainstream chipsets and operating systems.
Deploy globally
Enable region agnostic IoT solutions with Agora’s globally deployed network so you can sell and ship IoT devices anywhere in the world without worrying about usability.
Reduce costs
IoT SDK’s license-based billing plan is more cost-effective than billing by minutes. The price does not change based on device usage by the end user.
Features
Highly integrated
IoT SDK integrates both RTC services and signalling services so you can easily develop features like live streaming and remote control at the same time.
Lightweight design
Designed for low-resource embedded systems, IoT SDK has a small package footprint as low as 400kb, so you don’t have to worry about system resource usage.
Low power consumption
Based on low hardware requirements (CPU, memory, etc.), IoT SDK works well with battery-powered devices like video doorbells.
Cross-platform
IoT SDK is compatible with WebRTC, and developers can build apps across platforms like mobile, PC, web, and smart displays (e.g., Amazon Alexa), without plugins, while supporting a wide range of chipsets and operating systems.
Reliable, excellent performance even in poor network conditions
With end-to-end algorithmic network optimization, IoT SDK provides smooth live streaming even in weak network environments. Say goodbye to frozen video streams.
Interoperable with RTC full platform
IoT SDK is interoperable with Agora’s full real-time platform so you can easily build up the companion apps on iOS, Android, or any other platform.
Made for smart device developers.
Agora’s IoT SDK makes it easy to enable your IoT products with global real-time streaming.
Use Cases
