Overview
Connected Device Fleet Reference Architecture
Reference architecture for AWS-connected device fleets using AWS IoT Greengrass for resilient edge processing, secure connectivity, telemetry, OTA updates, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
Klika Tech Connected Device Fleet Management
Klika Tech Connected Device Fleet Management is a professional services offering for organizations building or modernizing secure, scalable connected-device platforms on AWS. Klika Tech helps customers connect devices, gateways, embedded systems, and edge workloads to support centralized fleet visibility, telemetry, device control, monitoring, analytics, and operational workflows.
Why Klika Tech: Klika Tech holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, applying formal security and quality management practices to every engagement. As members of the LoRa Alliance and Intel Alliance, Klika Tech brings specialized protocol expertise and reusable implementation patterns proven across real-world connected systems spanning low-power telemetry, edge gateways, smart mobility, intelligent buildings, and large-scale fleet operations.
How It Works: AWS IoT Greengrass at the Edge
AWS IoT Greengrass serves as a core architectural component, extending AWS capabilities to local gateways and edge devices. Local processing enables connected systems to continue performing critical functions during intermittent or unavailable internet connectivity. Data is filtered, normalized, aggregated, and acted upon at the edge so that only relevant performance indicators, operational events, and critical alerts are transmitted to the cloud. This approach reduces bandwidth consumption and cloud costs while improving response times and operational continuity.
Example Scenario: Multi-Building Smart Environment
A property management organization operating hundreds of LoRaWAN sensors across a multi-building campus engages Klika Tech to centralize device onboarding, OTA firmware updates, and environmental telemetry. Klika Tech deploys AWS IoT Greengrass on local gateways to filter and aggregate sensor data at the edge, transmitting only threshold-exceeding events and periodic summaries to the cloud. The result is a unified fleet dashboard with real-time alerts, automated OTA rollout workflows, and continued local operation even during connectivity disruptions.
Engagement Process and Deliverables
Typical engagements follow a phased approach:
- Discovery (2-4 weeks): Scoping workshops, requirements gathering, and architecture assessment. Deliverables include a solution design document, implementation roadmap, and cost estimate.
- Architecture and Design (2-4 weeks): Detailed technical design, security review, and integration planning. Deliverables include architecture diagrams, security controls specification, and deployment strategy.
- Implementation (6-12 weeks): Engineering, integration, and iterative delivery. Deliverables include working platform components, device onboarding workflows, dashboards, and OTA pipelines.
- Testing and Validation (2-4 weeks): End-to-end testing, performance validation, and security verification. Deliverables include test reports and remediation documentation.
- Transition and Handoff (1-2 weeks): Operational runbooks, knowledge transfer sessions, and support transition. Deliverables include runbooks, architecture documentation, and credential transfer.
Scope and Capabilities
Klika Tech supports device onboarding, gateway and embedded integration, secure MQTT messaging (TLS 1.2+), LoRaWAN and Amazon Sidewalk connectivity, telemetry ingestion, stream processing, OTA software updates, fleet monitoring, dashboards, alerts, identity management, security controls, testing, deployment, and operational handoff.
Supported verticals: Smart buildings and apartments, mobility and assistive technology, healthcare, industrial IoT, asset tracking, occupancy monitoring, and environmental sensing.
Prerequisites: Customers must provide an active AWS account, device hardware or specifications, network infrastructure access, and a designated technical point of contact.
