What we do: to sense any parameter, anywhere

We help to solve problems in our society with wireless sensor networks that monitor

continuously anything, anywhere

5

Waspmote: the standard platform for the Internet of Things

We identify 3 elements common to all IoT projects:

6

The standard platform for the IoT

HORIZONTAL

+ 80 sensors+ 10 verticals+ 50 IoT applications

MODULAR OPEN SOURCESCALABLE

Pluggableadd-ons

7

Business Model & Go to market strategy

+ A HORIZONTAL approach to market, targeting MULTIPLE VERTICALS

+ ONE HORIZONTAL HDW PLATFORM, MULTIPLE VERTICAL SOLUTIONS

+ Partnering with system integrators allows to build complete, A to Z

solutions for the end user.

Smart Cities: user cases & applications

14

Smart Parking

3 steps:

1. The parking nodes send the information to the repeaters2. The repeaters send the information to the concentrator3. The concentrator sends the information to the Internet

15

Smart Agriculture: opportunities & challanges

16

Monitoring drinking water quality

Monitoring water quality & safety

Sewage monitoring

Real-time water control & management

Public health & risk monitoring

Healthy, pollution-free, ecosystems for wildlife

Smart Water

Chemical leakage detection

17

State of the Art

What we are already doing with these

elements...

18

A Smart City project with a horizontal vision

* City services & goals:

– Smart Parking

– CO, CO2, NO2, Temperature

– Smart lighting

– Noise monitring

– Efficient irrigation system

* Dimension → +1,200 nodes

* 5 different smart city solutions, on 1 single hdw platform

19

Smart City Services: Smart Parking

* Technical challenges

– Sensor calibration

– Sensor placement

– Deployment – timing,

weather, existing elements

20

Smart City Services: Smart Parking

21

Smart City Services: Environmental Control

22

Smart City Services

*Technical challenges (2)

• Over the Air Programming

● Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast

23

*Technology is the “easy” part

*COORDINATION inside municipalities

*Funding: public or private?

*CITIZENS

●What are you doing with MY taxes?

● Is it safe?

●How will I benefit from this?

Smart Cities: The Real Challanges

24

Serbia: environmental and pollution monitoring

* Parameters: temperature,

humidity, CO, CO2, NO2

* GPS - > request time to arrival

of buses

*Challenges:

● Mobile & “Moving” Network

● Independent nodes

25

Salamanca: air quality & traffic monitoring

✔ Sensors: temperature, humidity, CO, NO2, O3, Noise, Dust.

✔ Solar powered

26

Opportunities come from many verticals and markets

27

A new world of possibilities... IS HERE!!!!
