Abstract:
The IoT landscape is covered with a myriad of wireless technologies, each with their own capabilities, application domains, strengths and weaknesses. When building your IoT solution: should you go for a Low Power WAN alternative (e.g., LoRa, DASH7) or are the more consumer oriented technologies such as WiFi and Bluetooth sufficient. And what happens if you combine them all together? In this talk, we will discuss how the City of Things testbed can be used to answer these questions. City of Things is a heterogeneous multi-technology testbed for performing network and data experiments, which can scale up to the city level. We will give an overview of the current status of the testbed, showcase the first experiments and give you some information on how you can participate.
