    Billing example

    In this example, the following conditions are used:

    • The number of online devices is 10,000.

    • Each device submits a message every 10 minutes.

    • Each device receives a control message every 20 minutes.

    • The size of each message is less than or equal to 300 bytes.

    The following table describes each billable item.

    Billable item

    Description

    Formula

    Messaging-based transactions per second (TPS)

    Number of devices × Number of messages that each device submits per second + Number of devices × Number of messages that each device receives per second

    Parameter description:

    • One message every 10 minutes = One message/10 minutes = One message/(60 × 10) seconds = Number of messages that each device submits per second

    • One message every 20 minutes = One message/20 minutes = One message/(60 × 20) seconds = Number of messages that each device receives per second

    • TPS for upstream messages = Number of devices × Number of messages that each device submits to IoT Platform per second

    • TPS for downstream messages = Number of devices × Number of messages that each device receives from IoT Platform per second

    10,000 × [1/(60 × 10)] + 10,000 × [1/(60 × 20)] = 25 messages per second

    Message forwarding TPS

    Number of devices × Number of messages that each device submits per second

    Parameter description:

    • One message every 10 minutes = One message/10 minutes = One message/(60 × 10) seconds = Number of messages that each device submits per second

    • In this example, the message forwarding TPS calculates only the number of messages that devices submit.

    10,000 × [1/(60 × 10)] = 16.7 messages per second

    On the buy page of IoT Platform, configure the required specifications. The following fees can be calculated:
