Managing the Cellular IoT Solution Life Cycle
So far in this book, we have reviewed the value of the IoT, enterprise IoT markets, IoT device and network architectures, IoT wireless technologies, IoT security, and IoT solution case studies with a focus on the cellular IoT. Given that enterprise IoT solutions are expected to perform in the field for many years, it is important to plan the full cellular IoT solution life cycle as part of your enterprise IoT strategy. It should be clear that a full cellular IoT solution is complex with several components, including the IoT device, wireless connectivity, cellular network, IoT platform, and enterprise application – the chosen system architecture components impact the performance of the overall cellular IoT solution. Most businesses do not have the expertise to develop each of these disparate components, and unlike a consumer product life cycle, with an enterprise IoT solution, developers need to interact with, monitor, and maintain...
