Azure Event Hub: What is a Field Gateway?
Scott Guthrie previewing Azure Event Hubs shows the diagram below, which includes something called a "field gateway".
I have not been able to find a definition of what this concept means. I hope this is a device side SDK for dispatching events to Azure Event Hubs. It?

A field gateway is simply an aggregation point for a number of sensors in place. Many low power / basic devices do not have enough capacity to run secure HTTP sessions, so in these cases there will usually be a gateway to which these devices send their data. The gateway can collect / store and then securely forward the data to Azure Event Hubs.
To answer your question: this is not a device-side SDK.
