Abstract: IoT networks are increasingly used for critical applications. For example, they are used for smart cities, healthcare or to automate factories. In these scenarios we depend on their availability and reliable operation. To design an application such that it always functions as intended it is necessary to accurately predict all conditions the system might be exposed to. A good prediction is necessary to minimise resources (devices, infrastructure, …). This has proven to be a challenge. An IoT system is large-scale and is exposed to a variety of conditions. A large number of people interact with the system (users, operators) and it is used for many many years. In this talk I report on my experience with making predictions regarding the operational circumstances a network is exposed to. I will discuss how factors such as regulations and business choices influence network design. I will describe how the deployment of multiple networks in the same physical space impacts on network behaviour. Finally, I will discuss the impact of environmental properties such as RF and temperature on network performance.
