# White Paper: Industrial-strength MQTT/Sparkplug B

### Building industrial MQTT networks at scale with edge computing

If you design industrial data systems for a living or are considering your own company's digital transformation, you may be wondering

- How to provide sufficient scalability to deal with growing demand over time
- How to ensure interoperability between participating systems
- How to design for the security and stability of such a large network

This **white paper** helps you understand the power *and* the limitations of MQTT in answering these questions, and gives a step-by-step approach to creating a secure foundation for IIoT networks that scale up smoothly and operate reliably in support of mission-critical applications.
