Disclosed embodiments relate to an orchestrator and arbitrator in an Internet of Things (IoT) platform. In one example, a method of servicing a plurality of data flows of a plurality of wireless devices using a plurality of protocols includes: monitoring one or more interfaces that communicate using the plurality of protocols, activating a first interface upon detecting a demand to exchange data thereon, wherein a connectivity manager performs the monitoring, and activating, extracting, by a packet analyzer, packet metadata from one or more of the plurality of data flows, determining latency encountered and bandwidth utilized by the one or more data flows based on the packet metadata, applying, by an adaptive connectivity manager (ACM), a latency reduction strategy to attempt to comply with latency criteria, and applying, by a bandwidth utilization manager (BUM), a bandwidth reduction strategy to attempt to comply with bandwidth criteria.
