AMQP

AMQP (Advanced Message Queuing Protocol) is a robust, enterprise-grade messaging protocol supporting reliable delivery, routing, and queuing.

• Farm Controller ↔ HQ communication
• Federated multi-farm data aggregation
• Research and GAKD synchronization
• Guaranteed message delivery scenarios

• Primarily Farm Controller → HQ / Federated Layer
• Not typically used at direct sensor level

• Reliable message delivery
• Advanced routing and queuing
• Suitable for large-scale deployments
• Strong transactional guarantees

• AMQP is optional and never required for core irrigation safety
• Field Controllers must remain fully operational if AMQP connectivity fails
• HQ-level instructions are advisory only
• All supervisory messages must be auditable
