Good Wi-Fi Connectvity is Essential for loT Product Success

摘要

Internet of Things (IoT) momen-turn is bringing connectivity to devices we never thought would ever be connected. Now you can prepare your coffee without walking to your coffeemaker. You simply send a command to the maker using your phone. It even learns your preferences and prepares your coffee the way you like, every time. The number of connected devices and users continues to increase rapidly. And that's great! But, for a sustainable IoT infrastructure, it's necessary that an IoT device performs well in every environment. An IoT device that can't connect to the local access point (AP) is useless. System designers need to understand various Wi-Fi parameters such as transmit power, receive sensitivity, coexistence, and throughput while designing an IoT product. This article covers some of the important aspects that are essential for a successful IoT product.
