Hardware
Section titled “Hardware”Hardware should be evaluated as a site footprint, not as isolated line items. The gateway, I/O, power design, antenna plan, and enclosure choices either work together or fail together in the field.
Core paths
Section titled “Core paths” Power, enclosures, and antennas A practical checklist for the physical layer that often decides whether remote telemetry survives first deployment.
Applications Return to the site profile if hardware selection starts ignoring access, weather, or maintenance conditions.
Reliability Use reliability planning to stress-test the hardware stack against failure modes and service intervals.
Hardware planning flow
Section titled “Hardware planning flow”- Confirm what the site must sense, transmit, store, and survive.
- Design the physical stack around power, environment, mounting, and access.
- Choose device classes and accessories that reduce field maintenance burden.
- Validate the stack against site survivability before deployment.
