Choosing a protocol is a strategic choice. Before looking at protocols, however, start by asking yourself a few simple project questions:
- What kind of IoT are you going to be doing?
- Small deployments or larger, geographically dispersed deployments?
- Will you be using LPWANs or other networks?
- How much security is responsible?
- Is device battery life a consideration?
- What about network utilization/costs?
Then look at operational questions:
- What will you do if a device goes down?
- How would that impact business?
- What processes can you put in place to mitigate device downtime?
Once understood, objectives help us put the right mix of vision, technology, processes, and partners, like IoTerop, in place.
