Why Today's IoT Cannot Scale

Those underlying electronics are plagued by a continued reliance on batteries and inadequate wireless communication options—both of which have stopped countless IoT products dead in their tracks.  They cannot achieve the hyperscale IoT long imagined.  That's deprived us all of a wealth of new physical-world data stream

Problem 1: Batteries Cannot Scale

Logistically, economically, and environmentally, batteries will not scale. Practically, they force users to swap one maintenance event for another.

Limited Lifetimes

Limited Robustness

Limited Robustness

Batteries require inevitable, irregular, unpredictable maintenance cycles that erases many of the core benefits of remote monitoring.  Users want real-time insight from afar without having to worry about the health of their IoT device.

Limited Robustness

Limited Robustness

Batteries are not designed for the harsh environmental settings characteristic of many real-world IoT applications.  Instead, these environments rapidly deplete already finite battery lifetimes.

Limited Data

Limited Robustness

Limited Data

Batteries force vendors to employ duty-cycling techniques to conserve a finite power supply.  This leads to gaps in the quality and quantity of application data that can often reduce efficacy and value.

Why Can’t Batteries Power the Internet of Things?

Batteries represent a logistically prohibitive maintenance problem that requires a mind-boggling maintenance workforce, presenting a daunting challenge for individual facilities where maintenance resources are already at capacity.
