Fixed-scope entry engagement · Industrial OEMs

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.

Technology-neutral, by design

The most expensive mistake is the wrong radio chosen by default.

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.

Technology fit first

A weighted comparison of every candidate technology against your actual requirements — not a vendor deck.

Implementation readiness

Once the technology path is confirmed, the review follows it down into module, RF, SIM/eSIM, cloud, and certification risk.

Independent decision support

If cellular is not the right fit for your product, the report says so — and maps the alternative.

Scored, not anecdotal

Every check runs against a 29-field checklist refined across industrial IoT programmes: patented LPWA product, Wi-Fi mesh fleet, mission-critical airport systems.

The method

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.

7 fieldsTechnology fit & requirements

Deployment profile, power and data constraints, weighted technology comparison, TCO per candidate.

4 fieldsModem & module selection

Where cellular is in play: module choice, interfaces, lifecycle and supply exposure.

4 fieldsAntenna & RF integration

Antenna placement and keep-outs, layout risk, real-world throughput versus datasheet.

4 fieldsSIM / eSIM strategy

eSIM/RSP readiness, carrier exposure, profile switching, multi-region coverage.

5 fieldsCloud & protocols

Data path, protocol choices, security posture, fleet operations assumptions.

5 fieldsCertification & regulatory

CE/RED, FCC, PTCRB/GCF, carrier acceptance, industry-specific regimes — scored before they surface late.

Day by day

What the five working days look like.

Fixed scope, visible progress. You know what happens on each day and what comes out of it.

Day 0Kickoff
Scope call & data request.

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.

Days 1–2Review
Document review.

Requirements, deployment plan, BOM and module choice, RF section, SIM/eSIM plan, cloud architecture, certification plan — annotated against the checklist.

Days 2–3Interviews
Stakeholder interviews.

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?

Day 3Scoring
Checklist scoring.

All 29 fields scored. Where no objective technology comparison exists, the weighted matrix is built for you.

Day 4Findings
Risk register & roadmap.

Findings drafted into a prioritised risk register and a costed, phased remediation roadmap.

Day 5Readout
Executive readout.

60-minute session walking through the top risks and the recommendation. The full report and scoring workbook are delivered the same day.

What you receive

A decision you can defend internally.

01 · Weighted technology comparison

Scored against your actual requirements, with assumptions and open validation clearly recorded.

02 · Prioritised risk register

Findings ranked by severity, likelihood, impact, evidence, owner, and estimated remediation cost.

03 · Costed remediation roadmap

Phased actions with indicative engineering effort and euro estimates.

04 · Executive readout

A 60-minute review of the recommendation, trade-offs, risks, and next decisions.

Before day 0

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:

Deployment profile

Fixed or mobile assets, indoor/outdoor/underground, geographies, expected production volumes.

Power & hardware

Power source and battery-life targets per asset class; current or shortlisted radios/modules; RF layout screenshots.

SIM/eSIM & cloud

Current SIM/eSIM strategy — "none yet" is itself a finding — plus a cloud/protocol architecture sketch.

Certification status

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.

Commercial terms

Clear scope. Fixed fee.

EUR 3,500Standard review · five working days
EUR 5,000On-site day, more than three candidate radios, or expanded multi-technology scope

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.
