IoT Consulting Services
Don't guess on hardware. Don't guess on cloud telemetry. We help CTOs architect resilient, scalable edge-to-cloud ecosystems before writing a single line of code.
De-Risk Your IoT Investment
The Internet of Things is unforgiving. A software bug in a web app is an inconvenience; a firmware flaw in 10,000 deployed sensors is a catastrophic recall.
Our IoT Consulting team operates independently of our development arm to provide objective, mathematically sound architectural strategies. We analyze payload sizes, battery constraints, network topologies, and cloud ingestion rates to build a blueprint for success.
- Hardware & Protocol Selection: Matching the exact MCU (STM32, ESP32) and protocol (BLE, LoRaWAN, Cellular NB-IoT) to your environment.
- Cloud Telemetry Design: Architecting resilient MQTT brokers on AWS IoT Core or Azure IoT to handle massive concurrency without exorbitant cloud bills.
- Edge AI Readiness: Determining exactly what analytics can be pushed to the edge (TinyML) to save bandwidth versus processing in the cloud.
Our Consulting Offerings
Architecture Blueprints
Comprehensive documentation mapping the entire data journey—from physical sensor transduction, to gateway aggregation, to cloud time-series storage.
FinOps & Cost Modeling
We model the exact cloud ingestion and storage costs for your telemetry data over a 5-year horizon to ensure unit economics remain viable as you scale.
Security & Compliance Audits
Rigorous threat modeling evaluating OTA update mechanisms, physical hardware tampering, and TLS/mTLS certificate management for enterprise compliance.
IoT Wireless Connectivity Matrix: NB-IoT vs. LTE-M vs. LoRaWAN vs. Satellite
Evaluating throughput, battery life, coverage range, mobility, and infrastructure CAPEX for enterprise IoT deployments.
| Connectivity Dimension | NB-IoT (Narrowband IoT) | LTE-M (Cat-M1) | LoRaWAN (Sub-GHz LPWAN) | Satellite IoT (Direct-to-Device) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Data Throughput | Low (20–100 kbps); optimal for periodic sensor telemetry packets | Moderate (300 kbps–1 Mbps); supports VoLTE voice and FOTA updates | Ultra-low (0.3–50 kbps); small payloads (51–222 bytes per burst) | Extremely low (few bytes to kilobytes per satellite pass) |
| Battery Autonomy | 5–10 years using PSM (Power Saving Mode) and eDRX sleep states | 5–8 years on internal battery with power-saving profiles | 10+ years on battery; minimal TX power and asynchronous wake-up | 3–7 years; requires higher transmit power to reach LEO satellites |
| Range & Indoor Penetration | Excellent deep indoor and underground penetration (+20dB gain over GSM) | Strong indoor/cell-edge coverage; supports seamless cell handovers | 10–15km rural line-of-sight; 2–5km urban; deep penetrating Sub-GHz RF | 100% global planetary coverage; operates mid-ocean, deserts, and poles |
| Mobility & Roaming | Stationary or slow-moving; frequent tower re-selection drains battery | Full mobility; seamless tower handovers suitable for fast-moving fleets | Supported within local gateway footprint; cross-operator packet roaming | Global coverage without roaming agreements; requires unobstructed sky view |
| Infrastructure CAPEX | Zero network CAPEX; uses commercial public cellular carrier base stations | Zero network CAPEX; runs on standard commercial 4G/5G mobile towers | Private gateway CAPEX or community network subscription (TTN, Helium) | Zero ground infrastructure; monthly or per-byte satellite constellation billing |
| Best Enterprise Fit | Smart water/gas utility metering, municipal streetlights, soil probes. | Fleet GPS telematics, transit asset monitoring, wearable panic buttons. | Smart campus facility sensors, agricultural farms, industrial plant valves. | Maritime cargo containers, remote trans-continental oil pipelines, mining machinery. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do we need an IoT consultant before starting development?
Unlike standard web apps, IoT combines physical hardware constraints (battery life, memory), unreliable network connectivity, and massive data ingestion. Choosing the wrong communication protocol (e.g., using Wi-Fi instead of LoRa for agriculture) or the wrong cloud ingestion architecture can result in millions of dollars in wasted capital.
Do you help with hardware and MCU selection?
Yes. Our embedded engineers evaluate your specific use case to recommend the exact microcontrollers (ESP32, STM32, Nordic), sensors, and edge gateways required to balance cost, performance, and power consumption.
Can you design a cloud architecture for high-volume MQTT telemetry?
Absolutely. We specialize in designing highly scalable, resilient data pipelines using AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub, and custom time-series databases (TimescaleDB, InfluxDB) to handle millions of concurrent device connections.
