1. Scalability: IoT infrastructures must be able to accommodate large numbers of devices and handle huge amounts of data traffic. Scaling up can be difficult and expensive.
2. Security: With so many connected devices, security is a major challenge. IoT networks are at risk of being hacked and data can be lost or stolen.
3. Connectivity: Different types of devices may use different connectivity protocols, so it can be difficult to ensure that all devices can communicate effectively.
4. Compatibility: As IoT technologies are still emerging, there is little standardization, and devices from different manufacturers may not be compatible with each other or with legacy systems.
5. Power management: Many IoT devices are battery-powered, and optimizing power consumption is critical for prolonging battery life.
6. Data management: With vast amounts of data being generated, managing and processing it can be a challenge. Issues such as data storage, processing and analysis can be complex.
7. Reliability and Resiliency: Many IoT deployments involve mission-critical operations that require always-on availability and resiliency. Failure to ensure service availability can lead to disastrous consequences.
