Product overview

IoT SDK

Agora's IoT SDK brings real-time audio and video engagement to smart devices with a lightweight design optimized for low-resource and battery-powered systems. Compatible with WebRTC and a wide range of chipsets, it supports seamless cross-platform development across mobile, PC, web, and smart displays. With robust performance in weak network conditions and integration with Agora’s real-time platform, it’s ideal for live streaming, remote control, and interactive IoT applications.

Use the IoT SDK to build lightweight, cross-platform apps for smart devices, from video doorbells to smart displays. Designed for low power consumption and exceptional network performance, it offers full compatibility with Agora’s RTC and signaling platforms, simplifying development for interactive and reliable IoT solutions.

Built on Agora’s software-defined real-time network (SD-RTN™), the IoT SDK ensures high connectivity, low latency, and maximum stability even in challenging network conditions. Add real-time audio and video capabilities to smart devices with a small footprint, minimal power consumption, and seamless interoperability with Agora’s real-time platform and RTC SDKs.

Product Features

Highly integrated

IoT SDK integrates both real-time communication 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, IoT SDK works well with battery-powered devices like video doorbells.

Cross-platform

IoT SDK is compatible with Video SDK for Web, and developers can build apps across platforms like mobile, PC, web, and smart displays like Amazon Alexa, without plugins, while supporting a wide range of chipsets and operating systems.

Excellent resistance to poor networks

With end-to-end algorithmic network optimization, IoT SDK provides smooth live streaming even in weak network environments.

Interoperable with the full Agora platform

IoT SDK is interoperable with other Agora products so you can easily build up the companion apps on iOS, Android, or any other platform.
