In summary, IoT applications can be mobile or fixed. This will be the key deciding factor for the type of connectivity the device will require. For mobile devices, they must have cellular or satellite connectivity. The choice will be driven by availability, cost, and urgency of data collection. Consideration must be given to the longevity of the cellular generation chosen; as some, like 2G, already have sunset plans in place. For IoT devices that are in fixed locations, the connectivity options are broader and include short range technologies like Bluetooth, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi, as well as wired connections.
