Staff Editor

Internet of Things (IoT) hardware design is the process of developing a connected device around the needs of a specific application. Teams begin by establishing the device architecture and the connectivity model it will use in the field. Those early decisions affect reliability and cost, and they influence how well the product can meet security and certification requirements over time.

As connected devices take on more processing at the edge, hardware design has a greater effect on deployment outcomes. Early decisions can influence:

  • Processing performance under real operating conditions
  • Power consumption across the device duty cycle
  • Field reliability over the expected service life
