Using AWS IoT services in DDIL scenarios
AWS has long been a leader in the IoT space. They offer a wide range of managed IoT services and customers have been operating IoT solutions on AWS at scale for over a decade. It is a very large and powerful toolbox, but at the end of the day, the challenge is right there in the name IoT – Internet of Things. What do you do when the I in IoT isn’t a foregone conclusion?
Consider a situation where a few dozen IoT sensors and cameras are quickly set up in a remote location where even cellular service is not available. It would likely be prohibitively expensive to equip every sensor and camera with its own SATCOM terminal and associated service.
Even if we could afford to do that, the latency back to the region would be high and the throughput low – both of which would delay our ability to make decisions based on the data coming in from those sensors. This will typically be the case if we want to make Machine Learning...
