Abstract: There have been predictions of more than 50 billion sensors/devices in our connected world. The interesting aspect of this is that 70% of the data requirements are very small packets that measure repetitive states of action and or values based on performance or time series. Oil companies just want to know if a pump is running, a tank is empty of close to overflow and if the drill bit is moving. Farmers and ranchers want to understand simple things like soil PH, moisture content, nutrient levels, or the location of a cow. Manufactures want to see of a station is manned or a line is moving. Sensors to do this are simple and require little bandwidth for the packet. Conversely, there are lots of protocols that will do the job. We will discuss how, why and where communication stacks like Wi-Fi, ZigBee, Zwave, LoRaWAN, UMG. RPMA. Weightless, 2G, 3G, LTE, CatM1, NB IoT and 5G all play their roles and how their design intents impact what you need to deploy where.
