Ensuring devices work in a wide
range of environment
18. 18
• Most IoT devices support a broad range of wireless
communication technologies, such as ZigBee, Bluetooth LE,
NFC, and LPWAN
• Devices and network must also support different communication
technologies in a range of different, and sometimes extreme,
environments where RF conditions may differ dramatically
• Verifying devices & networks can support a broad range of formats; operate in extreme environments
& remote locations
• Ensuring networks can support growing numbers of devices and subsequent increase in web traffic
Challenges
19. 19
• Increased use of wireless technologies to connect critical equipment
(e.g., healthcare, transportation, public safety, smart grid, etc.) and
intensive use of unlicensed shared spectrums
• Robust testing protocols for co-existence are needed to verify
wireless equipment can perform in the presence of multiple users,
with different wireless technologies, in the same spectrum
• Communication standards don’t always explain how to perform co-existence test
• Some test methods are susceptible to ambient signals; others may not resemble the deployment environment
• Performing co-existence testing in a way that is efficient & cost effective
