# Frequently asked questions about IoT connector
14+
15+
Here are some of the frequently asked questions about IoT connector.
16+
17+
## IoT connector: The basics
18+
19+
### What are the differences between the Azure API for FHIR IoT connector (preview) and the Azure Healthcare APIs IoT connector?
20+
21+
Azure Healthcare APIs IoT connector is the successor to the Azure API for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) IoT connector (preview).
22+
23+
Several improvements have been introduced including customer-hosted device message ingestion endpoints (for example: an Azure Event Hub), the use of Managed Identities, and Role-Based Access Control.
24+
25+
### Can I use IoT connector with a different FHIR service other than the Azure Healthcare APIs FHIR service?
26+
27+
No. The Azure Healthcare APIs IoT connector currently only supports the Azure Healthcare APIs FHIR service for persistence of data. The open-source version of the IoT connector supports the use of different FHIR services. For more information, see the [Open-source projects](iot-git-projects.md) section.
28+
29+
### What versions of FHIR does the IoT connector support?
30+
31+
The IoT connector currently only supports the persistence of [HL7 FHIR® R4](https://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=491).
32+
33+
### What are the subscription quota limits for IoT connector?
34+
35+
* 25 IoT Connectors per Subscription (adjustable with an Azure support request)
36+
* 10 IoT Connectors per Workspace (adjustable with an Azure support request)
37+
* One FHIR Destination* per IoT Connector (not adjustable)
38+
39+
(* - FHIR Destination is a child resource of IoT connector)
40+
41+
### Can I use the IoT connector with device messages from Apple®, Google®, or Fitbit® devices?
42+
43+
Yes. IoT connector supports device messages from all these platforms. For more information, see the [Open-source projects](iot-git-projects.md) section.
