Soracom Funnel is an adapter service that forwards data from a device directly to a cloud service.

By default, when Funnel forwards data, metadata such as IMSI and timestamp is added to the forwarded data, which can be helpful for many applications. However, in some use cases, you may want to disable this behavior. With this update, you can now select the Payload only option which will suppress adding metadata and instead send the data as-is.

In addition, when using Funnel to forward binary data to AWS IoT, Funnel will encode the data in base-64 for compatibility before sending it to AWS IoT. This update also introduces a new Send Payload as Binary option which will send binary data as-is without base-64 encoding.

To use the Send Payload as Binary option, choose the AWS IoT service, then select Binary as the content type, enable the Payload only option, and finally enable the Send Payload as Binary option.

You can find additional information in the Soracom Funnel documentation.
