        abstract = {The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed mod- ern industries by enabling data-driven automation and smart system integration. Single-board computers (SBCs) play a vital role in supporting IoT infrastructures, particularly at the edge. This research paper presents a detailed analysis of the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, focusing on its architecture, processing capabilities, connectivity options, and practical deployment in IoT environ- ments. The study evaluates its role as an IoT gateway and edge computing node, analyzing both its strengths and limitations in comparison to microcontroller-based alternatives such as ESP32 and Arduino boards. The findings highlight Raspberry Pi 4’s suitability for applications requiring localized data processing, multi-device interfacing, and real-time communication within IoT ecosystems},
