I work on an image/video analysis type project. Internet connectivity is over (sometimes flaky) LTE. We could not live with a «thin device» unless we had a fiber link to the cloud.

Even if you do simple point measurements (e.g a weather station with temperature, pressure etc) it might make QA sense to perform multiple measurements and reject outliers, take an average etc before reporting to The Cloud.

Is your project/business public? If so any chance you could provide a link? I'm interested in this space from a research angle and it would be great to be able to point to a real-world use case.
