When starting an IoT project, it's crucial to consider several constraints that will heavily impact hardware and communication medium choices. This article explores these major concerns and how they guide decision-making to develop IoT devices.
There are numerous communication channels that you can use to reach the cloud. Choosing the right IoT communication protocol requires reflecting on the following constraints: energy consumption, throughput, latency, range, cost, security, public or private network, coverage, and obsolescence. We will divide them into two categories: short-range and long-range.
