The Internet of Things is quickly integrating into all areas of business. Many companies and government agencies are working to bring it into their application areas. The Internet of Things is essential for public utilities, law enforcement agencies, as well as large companies that are focused on Western development. This does not mean that small and medium-sized company cannot access this technology. Here is a description of the prices for the Internet of Things implementation in different business sectors.
What are the factors that determine the IoT’s cost?
Euristiq’s potential customers should ask the question: How much does IoT Cost? When calculating and agreeing to estimates, they should concentrate on the following levels of software, sensors and scanners development and implementation.
The size and scope of a project will determine the cost of IoT. An IoT system that is basic can be as low as $100, while one that is more complicated may run into the tens of thousands. The cost of industrial applications can be higher.
At hardware level
The price depends on the type and model of cameras and sensors, searchlights and reading, transmitting and receiving devices.
You should consider the following: the equipment you have, how it was installed, the complexity of the installation, the length of the cable products, whether additional protection is required against wind, UV radiation, or the installation of fire-fighting devices, alarms, or other security elements.
Cost of peripheral gear
Each IoT-based system must be installed with intelligent advanced software. This requires purchasing computers, servers and processors. The cost of these devices varies depending on their performance, country of manufacture and brand.
At communication level
The cost of equipping an Internet of Things system depends on the type of connection used – wired or wireless.
The first case takes into consideration the distance that information must be transmitted. This affects the type of switching device. The second case takes into consideration the cost, type, section, and material of the cable that transmits the signal.
This paragraph should consider the types of signals received and whether amplifiers or stabilizers are required. It also needs to take into consideration technological parameters and limitations on information transfer via wired or wireless communications.
The tariff for data transmission service is selected by the user.
It is important to understand which tariff plans will deliver the desired results. There are many tariff plans available. They offer a variety of data download speeds and data transfer speeds. Most providers of data switching services first understand the type of intellectual product or result the customer requires and then offer the best tariff plan.
You will need to choose the tariff plan you want. A cellular connection costs approximately twice as much regardless of which tariff is chosen. Each receiving device can cost anywhere from 6 to 12 Dollars. This drops to between 4 and 6 dollars if you choose a WAN connection or data transmission system.
Connecting cloud services
The user of the Internet of Things system will need to increase his costs if he chooses a platform that is scalable and can be developed without having to modify the program code or purchase additional equipment.
You should note that every cloud service has its provider, the owner of remote servers or the operator of peripheral programs. This agreement will require a subscription and an agreement.
This service’s price depends on how large the Internet of Things system is being deployed, the amount of cloud storage available, and the internal marketing policies of the provider.
Software type
This broad concept encompasses many criteria. Each one should be presented in a detailed estimate to integrate the Internet of Things technology into tracking and monitoring systems, as well as control of user’s businesses.
The price of the software will vary depending on the developer chosen, performance, scalability, upgradeability, as well as the number of basic or additional functions.
Sometimes, the operator may be a layman. In these cases, the provider of data services in field of Internet of things, as well as the developer, will need to create mobile apps, interactive programs, and an easy-to-use colorful interface with animation effects. This will undoubtedly impact the final price of the product.
It is important to consider what type of software you are planning to install. This could be a totally individual development that is done from scratch according to the terms and conditions of the customer or you can adapt the template product to meet the needs of the user without having to study the program code.
Ensuring cross layer security
This is an important point in modern reality. Any system that relies on the internet to connect to it is vulnerable to hacking, theft, copying, and even deletion. It is important to add a cost item to the estimate to cover the installation of multilevel encryption keys and other security system to protect all data. Euristiq has accepted applications from large companies to create a turnkey system using IoT technology. They are willing to pay 20% of the total cost of the intellectual product, which includes physical objects.
Given the many factors that can impact the final cost of product design, no IT company can predict without knowing the estimated cost of the entire range of work or equipment. Large companies spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars to outfit their businesses with IoT technology. Euristiq has the lowest prices for all hardware types, and software and IoT system integration, when compared with most other companies.
