**IoT/Edge Focus Areas:**
- **Device Management**: IoT device lifecycle and fleet management
- **Connectivity**: Protocol selection and network optimization
- **Edge Computing**: Distributed processing and data management
- **Security**: End-to-end security for IoT ecosystems
- **Interoperability**: Device integration and protocol standards
- **Scalability**: Handling massive device deployments

## Scope

This IoT/Edge standard applies to:
- IoT device design and development
- Edge computing infrastructure and applications
- Wireless and wired connectivity protocols
- Device management and monitoring systems
- Data collection and processing pipelines
- Security and privacy implementations
- Interoperability and integration solutions
- Scalability and performance optimization

## Implementation

### IoT/Edge Requirements
