Wireless Design Elements
Five elements constitute the core of any wireless development process – embedded software/firmware development, hardware design, application development, cloud engineering, and security implementation. All these elements must be well integrated and require deep expertise. It is not uncommon that the wireless development process can take up to a year to complete, and each stage bringing special hurdles to overcome.
Implementing Smart Home Development
Smart Home Technology deployments can be cumbersome and time-consuming. contributing to the complexity are several key factors. They include:
Integration: Many different domains, protocols and technologies need to be seamlessly integrated for optimal outcomes
Rapid innovation cycles: Technology is changing at a frenetic pace and products/services need to keep pace
Scale and management: Smart Home deployments need to leverage cloud models and scale to any size
Underlying technology: Open connectivity standards, AI/ML, natural language processing, object/context recognition, etc, driving new efficiencies in applications expertise to cope with these technology foundations is essential
Cost to build & service: Service providers and OEMs need to optimize costs for product development, manufacturing and operations
