Supported Protocols
Assessing which communication protocols (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, cellular) are supported and their respective versions.
Interoperability
Evaluating the device's ability to interoperate with other devices and systems using these protocols.
Power Consumption
Reviewing power management strategies and their effectiveness in the device's design and operation.
Reliability
Measuring the percentage of delivered data and assessing the probability of data delivery failures.
Latency
Evaluating the time delay between data being sent and received.
Throughput
Determining the rate at which data is successfully transmitted.
Scalability
Assessing the device's ability to scale within a network and communicate without performance degradation under varying network loads.
Signal Range
Measuring the effective communication range for each supported protocol.
Coverage Area
Determining the coverage area across different environments (indoor, outdoor, urban, rural).
Regulatory Compliance
Verifying adherence to relevant regulatory standards.
Industry Standards
Ensuring compliance with industry standards and best practices.
Privacy
Assessing the safeguarding of personal and sensitive information collected, transmitted, stored, and processed.
Vulnerability
Identifying flaws in the system and assessing risks of unauthorized access and potential disruptions.
Encryption Methods
Reviewing the encryption standards used for data transmission (e.g., AES, SSL/TLS).
Authentication Mechanisms
Evaluating the authentication methods (e.g., WPA3 for Wi-Fi, device certificates) to ensure secure access.
