Following my previous question here, what are solutions to overcome issues with the data connection (i.e. data out off-quota or I'm out of coverage) during the work with my IoT devices. Especially when working tackling critical issues?
This is focused more on mobile connectivity since I don't want this to be broad and off-topic. I asked this since in my country, Malaysia we quite regularly have the lagging issues compared to the US & other western countries.
To begin with, if there are 'data issues', those issues should be taken up with the data service provider for violation of an agreed SLA. Next, there should be a offline data store option in your solution so that, the requirement of gathering data is taken care. If/when data coverage is available, the older data is republished or after a defined window, etc. As a last resort, the offline data could possibly have been downloaded via USB, etc.
Thus, in summary, storing data offline, republishing when online and archival of the collected data is something should be considered in the overall solution.
