# Data duplication

**Is the system logic sophisticated enough so that there are no problems if multiple gateways send the same information from a device to the cloud?**

Yes, duplicates are identified, so that the message is only processed once. The process is called data deduplication. It allows a device to send its wireless data to several gateways without causing malfunctions.
