Device and network architecture design
Target architectures for cellular IoT, mesh, LPWAN and grid device communications that survive contact with the field.
The problem
Device architectures often reflect the last vendor's product set rather than the estate's real coverage, power, security and lifecycle constraints — leaving cost and failure modes baked in for a decade of asset life.
Who it is for
Organisations deploying smart meters, grid sensors, DER controllers, EV infrastructure or large connected-device fleets.
What we do
- Bearer selection across NB-IoT, LTE-M, LTE, 5G, mesh RF and LPWAN
- APN, roaming, eSIM and multi-IMSI strategy
- Head-end, device management and data platform integration design
- Grid device enablement: DER, sensors, switchgear and control telemetry
- Device security, identity, certificate and firmware-update design
- Resilience, failover and last-gasp communications
Deliverables
- Options paper with costed bearer alternatives
- Target device and connectivity architecture
- Security and lifecycle design assumptions
- Interface and integration design with head-end systems
Outcomes
- A design your integrators and MNOs can actually build
- Connectivity matched to device power, location and data profile
- Fewer field failures and truck rolls after go-live
