Delivering remote connectivity for critical enterprise networks.
There is a shift taking place in the connectivity marketplace, particularly within organisations with a geographical spread of remote facilities, such as utilities and energy companies. Once the preserve of large multinational technology conglomerates specialising in IT, networking and cybersecurity, router solutions from smaller, independent market players were often dismissed as product-only options with little support. Moreover, the proprietary communications protocols and frameworks of the big providers would ‘lock’ companies into a single vendor strategy.
Two types of wireless IoT are prevalent in the connectivity arena: Massive IoT and Critical IoT.
Massive IoT involves monitoring large numbers of devices and sensors deployed over a sizable area. Typically, these devices are battery operated and communicate small data transmissions intermittently. Long latency periods are not an issue with Massive IoT because data transmissions are infrequent and not continuous.
Despite the proven capabilities of Massive IoT, it is Critical IoT that provides the most promising potential for applications at utility companies, for example, where the demand for reliable connectivity is much higher. Along with the ability to handle thousands of devices, Critical IoT has far more focus on ultra-reliable connectivity in applications that require dense coverage, ultra-low latency and high data throughput.
