There are several challenges to overcome if your Mobile IoT devices should have long battery lives. The choice of battery should be made with care and be suitable to the deployment environment. The conditions to which a battery is exposed throughout time, e.g. extreme temperature conditions, can have an immense impact on battery performance and longevity. For a battery lifetime estimation, several other factors should be considered (e.g. cut-off voltages, cell efficiency, leakage currents, temperature effects etc.). 

The IoT Solution Optimizer supports battery modeling that takes several aspects into account, helping you make informed decisions.

Some protocols may not be suitable for every IoT application. Your choice may impact the number of device-originated messages, supported feature capabilities and interoperability with the cloud. Sending messages too frequently would be contrary to Mobile IoT’s intended purpose. Failing to adapt IoT application behavior to this paradigm may not only prematurely drain a battery in a device, but it may congest or damage the mobile operator's network. 

The IoT Solution Optimizer guides you in dimensioning the most efficient IoT application traffic profile for the operator network and technology of choice.

With the IoT Solution Optimizer, you assemble a “virtual twin” of a product, for example a parking sensor. After selecting the network where the device will run, you pick access technology and hardware components, such as radio modules and batteries. Then, you specify the application and deployment aspects, including payload and protocol, power saving features, coverage and temperature environments. 

Not only are reliable results of expected battery life calculated in seconds, but we indicate how the solution can be optimized to improve economic viability. Performance analyses which previously took industry experts several man-weeks to complete, can now be delivered in just seconds.

The IoT Solution Optimizer is a service that bridges the fragmented IoT industry, bringing many suppliers in contact with customers looking for great solutions. 

With the IoT Solution Optimizer you can easily get in touch with our partners across the globe. By providing an online service where you can select device components to build your own product, you can find the best partners for each ingredient of your solution and learn how to combine these components most efficiently. If you are simply looking to buy ready-made IoT devices, we conveniently offer many different options from world-class device manufacturers.
