The Internet of Things (IoT) is being widely adopted in today's society,interconnecting smart embedded devices that are being deployed for indoor andoutdoor environments, such as homes, factories and hospitals. Along with thegrowth in the development and implementation of these IoT devices, their simpleand rapid deployment, initial configuration and out-of-the-box operationalprovisioning are becoming prominent challenges to be circumvented. Consideringa large number of heterogeneous devices to be deployed within next generationIoT networks, the amount of time needed for manual provisioning of these IoTdevices can significantly delay the deployment and manual provisioning mayintroduce human-induced failures and errors. By incorporating zero-touchprovisioning (ZTP), multiple heterogeneous devices can be provisioned with lesseffort and without human intervention. In this paper, we proposesoftware-enabled access point (Soft-AP)- and Bluetooth-based ZTP solutionsrelying only on a single mediator device and evaluate their performances usingLOG-A-TEC testbed against manual provisioning in terms of the time required forprovisioning (time-to-provision, TTP). We demonstrate that on average, Soft-AP-and Bluetooth-based ZTP solutions outperform manual provisioning with about154% and 313% when compared to the expert provisioning, and with about 434% and880% when compared to the non-expert provisioning in terms of TTP performances,respectively.
