Why Do-It-Yourself in IoT Leads to Failure

whitePaper | May 12, 2022

Traditionally the networking architectures used within the industrial domain have been many and varied. With its established enterprise IT roots, Ethernet was always going to be the backbone network of choice to link the worlds of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) together. However, since the arrival of Industrial IoT (IIoT), connecting all the production assets, such as sensors, actuators, robots, and the myriad of other equipment, typically involved proprietary, vendor-specific networking. The availability of single-pair Ethernet (SPE) looks set to change this legacy approach.

Technology is advancing rapidly, transforming many aspects of society, including how we communicate, navigate, and treat diseases. The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly as there are more electronics than ever to run accurate diagnostics, more sensors to increase autonomy, and better connectivity to avoid interference. Plus, the miniaturization of semiconductor components and advancement in electronic display technologies enables consumer electronic (CE) devices to become compact.

IoT applications are extremely vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks as they control both data access (often personal or sensitive) and connected devices. Without proper security, IoT technology will not grow as projected nor live up to its true potential in the marketplace. This paper focuses on how to create secure IoT device and sensor identities, fostering data access and interaction across devices in a trusted ecosystem.

The 19th century was a century of empires. The 20th century was a century of states. The 21st century will be a century of cities.” This quote by Wellington E. Webb, former mayor of the City of Denver, seems plausible when you look at the numbers: Although cities cover only a fraction of the Earth’s surface, they are already home to more than half of the world’s population.

Globally, more than 1.25 million people die in road traffic crashes every year and a further 50 million people are injured or disabled.¹ Meanwhile, congestion costs Australians $16.5 billion in 2015, according to the Bureau of Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Economics. The price of congestion is expected to double between $27.7 and $37.3 billion by 2030, without major policy changes.

This document introduces the main aspects and decisions you need to consider before and during your development phase of a low-power cellular Internet of Things (IoT) product. The sections are structured and ordered chronologically to follow a natural way of designing a cellular IoT device. The first sections cover the initial design decisions you might need to make to get the best possible baseline of your design. This includes overviews about the nRF9160 System in Package (SiP), modem radio, and radio technologies. The importance of network coverage and access is also discussed.
