Which IoT connectivity should I use?
Answer six questions on range, power, data, mobility, network and latency, and see the three radio options that fit best, with the rules shown in full.
Small reference tools for IoT teams: a connectivity picker, a Matter support table by ecosystem and a dated security regulation tracker, each linked to primary sources.

What Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant officially state about Matter versions, Thread border routers, device types and multi-admin.
Dated obligations from the Cyber Resilience Act, the EU radio equipment rules, UK PSTI, the U.S. Cyber Trust Mark, ETSI EN 303 645 and California SB-327, marked past or upcoming.
Each tool is a static page: the facts are checked against official sources (specifications, regulators' texts, vendors' own documentation) on the date shown, and every fact links to the page it comes from. Where a vendor does not state something officially, the table says so instead of guessing. The pages work without JavaScript; the picker and the day counts use a few lines of script when it is available.
