What is IoT Channel Partner?
IoT Channel Partner is a channel partner specialized in selling, integrating, and managing Internet of Things solutions — devices, sensors, connectivity, edge gateways, and IoT platforms — for end customers. IoT partnerships often involve multiple vendors combining hardware, connectivity, and software.
