Ably Realtime provides support for a number of protocols with its pub/sub system, one of which is "MQTT":http://mqtt.org/. MQTT is an open ISO standard providing a lightweight messaging protocol for small sensors and mobile devices, optimized for high-latency or unreliable networks. In most cases we recommend use of the "Ably client library SDKs":https://ably.com/download where you can, due to their far richer feature sets such as presence, automatic encoding and decoding of data types, and much more. However, MQTT can be great for use with languages we don't currently support, as well as when you have stringent bandwidth restrictions or wish to avoid vendor lock-in.
