Connectivity

How a device sends and receives data: cellular, LPWAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, satellite or wired networks.

Each connectivity option trades off range, data rate, power use, cost and coverage. There is no best technology, only the best fit for a use case.

Why it matters for business

Connectivity drives recurring cost, battery life and where your devices can work. A wrong choice is expensive to fix once thousands of devices are installed.
