Five days. 29 scored checks. No opinions.
What actually happens during a Connectivity Architecture & Technology Audit — the six assessment domains, the day-by-day plan, and the exact deliverables you walk away with.

Before reviewing how well your connectivity is implemented, the audit first answers whether it is the right connectivity at all. Cellular (4G/5G, NB-IoT, LTE-M), LPWAN, Wi-Fi/HaLow, BLE mesh, satellite NTN, and wired alternatives are scored against your deployment profile, power and data constraints, coverage, TCO, and certification burden. If your incumbent choice is right, you leave with evidence to defend it internally. If it is not, you want to know before architecture freeze — not after.
A weighted comparison of every candidate technology against your actual requirements — not a vendor deck.
Once the technology path is confirmed, the review follows it down into module, RF, SIM/eSIM, cloud, and certification risk.
If cellular is not the right fit for your product, the report says so — and maps the alternative.
Every check runs against a 29-field checklist refined across industrial IoT programmes: patented LPWA product, Wi-Fi mesh fleet, mission-critical airport systems.
Six domains. 29 scored fields.
Each field is scored Pass / Fail / Gap against defined criteria. You receive the scoring workbook itself — not just a narrative report — so the evidence behind every rating is visible to your team.
Deployment profile, power and data constraints, weighted technology comparison, TCO per candidate.
Where cellular is in play: module choice, interfaces, lifecycle and supply exposure.
Antenna placement and keep-outs, layout risk, real-world throughput versus datasheet.
eSIM/RSP readiness, carrier exposure, profile switching, multi-region coverage.
Data path, protocol choices, security posture, fleet operations assumptions.
CE/RED, FCC, PTCRB/GCF, carrier acceptance, industry-specific regimes — scored before they surface late.
What the five working days look like.
Fixed scope, visible progress. You know what happens on each day and what comes out of it.
60-minute kickoff to establish the product, deployment profile, decision deadline, and stakeholders. You receive a structured data-request list the same day, and NDA if needed.
Requirements, deployment plan, BOM and module choice, RF section, SIM/eSIM plan, cloud architecture, certification plan — annotated against the checklist.
Short structured sessions with your hardware lead, firmware lead, and product/operations owner. The question that matters: what happens to the business case if connectivity fails in the field?
All 29 fields scored. Where no objective technology comparison exists, the weighted matrix is built for you.
Findings drafted into a prioritised risk register and a costed, phased remediation roadmap.
60-minute session walking through the top risks and the recommendation. The full report and scoring workbook are delivered the same day.
A decision you can defend internally.
Scored against your actual requirements, with assumptions and open validation clearly recorded.
Findings ranked by severity, likelihood, impact, evidence, owner, and estimated remediation cost.
Phased actions with indicative engineering effort and euro estimates.
A 60-minute review of the recommendation, trade-offs, risks, and next decisions.
What we would ask you for.
The data request goes out at kickoff so the review week is spent assessing, not chasing documents. Typical items:
Fixed or mobile assets, indoor/outdoor/underground, geographies, expected production volumes.
Power source and battery-life targets per asset class; current or shortlisted radios/modules; RF layout screenshots.
Current SIM/eSIM strategy — "none yet" is itself a finding — plus a cloud/protocol architecture sketch.
CE/RED, FCC, PTCRB/GCF, carrier approvals, industry-specific regimes — plus known issues and field-return data.
Don't have all of it? That is normal. Gaps in the documentation are findings, not blockers.
Clear scope. Fixed fee.
Booking: 50% at booking and 50% on delivery. Follow-on credit: the full audit fee is credited against the first follow-on engineering invoice, up to the audit fee value, when signed within 60 days. Scope excludes laboratory testing, formal certification submissions, carrier contracting, field installation, and production implementation unless separately agreed.
