Which two are IoT sensor-specific constraints? (Choose two)

Question

Options

• AMemory
• BProcessing power
• CThe amount of devices
• DCooling
• EStandard transport protocols

Explanation

Memory (A) and Processing power (B) are the two IoT sensor-specific constraints because sensors are designed to be tiny, cheap, and battery-efficient - meaning they ship with severely limited RAM, storage, and CPU cycles by design. These hardware limitations directly shape how IoT applications must be architected (edge preprocessing, lightweight protocols, compressed payloads). The number of devices (C) is a network/scalability challenge for the infrastructure, not a constraint of the sensor itself. Cooling (D) is a constraint for high-power systems like servers and GPUs - IoT sensors run at milliwatts and generate negligible heat. Standard transport protocols (E) are a solution IoT uses (MQTT, CoAP), not a sensor constraint.

Memory tip: Think "what's inside the chip" - Memory and Processing power live on the sensor. Everything else (device count, cooling, protocols) is about the surrounding environment or ecosystem.
