Extend messaging to mobile devices, remote sensors, and actuators
IBM® WebSphere® MQ Telemetry provides real-time access to a range of mobile devices, remote sensors, actuators and other telemetry devices leveraging WebSphere MQ. It uses the MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol to transport robust messages to even the smallest devices for near instantaneous data exchange.
WebSphere MQ Telemetry for mobile devices features include:
- A gateway for mobile messaging for mobile networks, enabling mobile devices (e.g. Android & iOS phones and tablets) to be rapidly and easily connected with existing enterprise applications and services
- Flexible message processing that is designed specifically for mobile device messaging and connectivity.
- MQTT open message protocol that supports message exchange with smartphones, remote sensors, smart meters, global positioning system (GPS) devices, actuators, radio frequency identification (RFID) tags and other telemetry devices.
- Adaptive messaging technology that supports fast, cost-effective data exchanges.
- Simple administration tools that help manage and customize your setup.
A gateway for mobile devices
- Communicates almost instantly with your existing messaging applications and web services.
- Sends rich messages to resource-constrained telemetry networks and devices.
- Provides a gateway between WebSphere MQ and mobile devices.
- Extends the WebSphere MQ messaging infrastructure to remote devices worldwide.
- Delivers scalability with up to 100,000 concurrent MQTT connections.
Flexible message processing
- Uses a publish-and-subscribe model or a point-to-point model.
- Eliminates the need to know who is sending or receiving messages to reduce message size and demands on the network and remote device.
- Provides lightweight implementation of the publish-and-subscribe model to connect mobile devices on the network edge.
- Distributes WebSphere MQ Telemetry clients to mobile devices and applications.
- Exchanges messages with message queue interface (MQI), Java message service (JMS) and enterprise messaging applications.
MQTT open message protocol
- Sends and receives messages between mobile devices and the WebSphere MQ queue manager, which exchanges data with other messaging applications.
- Offers a wide range of connectivity options to reach the tiniest sensors and remote devices.
- Takes advantage of message delivery processes that are decoupled from the application.
- Reduces the prerequisites for connecting enterprise systems to sensor devices, and avoids restrictions on third-party communications software.
- Works efficiently on networks with low bandwidth, high-latency, fragile connections or expensive transmission fees.
Adaptive messaging technology
- Enables connectivity to devices with limited memory and capacity.
- Offers advanced messaging capabilities to less-constrained devices.
- Reduces network traffic and increases responsiveness by exchanging significant data and events only.
- Reduces message traffic and costs paid to pay-per-byte satellite networks.
- Takes advantage of data buffers and automated backup actions immediately triggered by network outages and device failures.
Simple administration tools
- Use an intuitive graphical interface for remote administration without the need for communications programming knowledge.
- Enable custom implementation of device-side messaging to connect unusual devices.
- Work with device-side messaging capabilities in different programming languages, from basic telemetry connectivity to advanced capabilities.

WebSphere MQ Telemetry Java client
This client is fully supported on a limited set of reference platforms but can run on a much wider range of platforms.
Reference Platforms:
| Operating System | Software | Hardware |
|---|---|---|
| Linux for System x (64-bit) | Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Server V5.0 using a Java runtime supported by WebSphere MQ v7 for Java and JMS applications. For further information go here. | |
| Microsoft Windows (by which is meant 32-bit apps on either 32-bit or 64-bit architecture) |
Microsoft Windows XP Professional (SP2 or later) using a Java runtime supported by WebSphere MQ v7 for Java and JMS applications. For further information click here. Microsoft Windows 7 (Professional or Ultimate) using a Java runtime supported by WebSphere MQ v7 for Java and JMS applications. For further information click here. Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 using a Java runtime supplied with IBM Lotus Expeditor Client for Devices 6.2 or later or IBM Lotus Expeditor Client for Desktop 6.2 or later |
Other Platforms:
The client is not restricted to running on the reference platforms; it can also run on any platform where a suitable Java runtime is available. The IBM service team may request that a problem be reproduced on a reference platform. The client can be run on the following Java runtimes:
JSE 1.4.2 or above that is "Java Compatible"
Java Micro Edition (JME) CLDC 1.1 MIDP 2.0 or later that is Java Powered
Java Micro Edition (JME) CDC 1.1 Foundation profile 1.1 or later that is Java Powered
In addition to running in a basic JRE the non-MIDP client is packaged as an OSGi bundle and can be run in an OSGi runtime compliant with the OSGi R4 core framework specification
