Techniques for integrating a device platform in a core network or MEC environment, and managing data communications associated with devices are presented. The device platform, integrated with the core network or MEC environment, can comprise a communication management component (CMC) that can manage communication of data associated with devices connected to the core network. CMC can receive data and metadata from a device, analyze the data and metadata, and, based on the analyzing and data management criteria, determine whether any, all, or a portion of the data is to be communicated to a second device associated with the core network or associated communication network. CMC can be trained, using machine learning, to learn to identify device types, communication protocols, and data payload formats of devices. Based on the analyzing and the training, CMC can determine the device type, communication protocol, and data payload format associated with the device.
