About SecureDataShot (SDS)
SecureDataShot (SDS) is a highly optimized wireless protocol developed by Disruptive Technologies. It is built specifically for sensors that need to last up to 15 years on a single battery.
Key properties of SDS:
- Ultra-low power — optimized to minimize battery usage on every transmission
- Highly scalable — supports tens of thousands of sensors per Cloud Connector gateway
- End-to-end encrypted — data is encrypted from the sensor all the way to the cloud
Troubleshooting / FAQ
Q: Is SDS compatible with standard IoT protocols like MQTT or Zigbee?
A: No. SDS is a proprietary protocol developed by Disruptive Technologies and is not compatible with standard IoT protocols. Data is made available through the DT Cloud and REST API after the Cloud Connector relays it.
