IoT Living LabHistory of the project

Introduction to IoT players in Amsterdam

Why is there an IoT explosion NOW?

We used 20 platforms

Our stack:

We ran 4 IoT protocolsLoRa

Wifi

GSM

Bluetooth

We used 4 LoRa networksKPN - reliable, secure, geo positioning, commercial

TTN - open , community driven, free to use, possible to contribute with your own equipment which you manage yourself voluntarily

LoRiot - freemium, reliable, possible to contribute with your own equipment managed by LoRiot

loraserver - open source , completely self service, self managed, not part of a larger proposition

We ran several LoRa device for 18 months complexly on solar

We were sending at an “illegally” high rate 3 x per minute

We used a 1W solar panel

We survived the 18 months with a one week pause in December where the temperature was too low for loo

The role of the communityTTN was born from the fusion of an entrepreneur and the existing sense maker community and created a new world

wide user community

KPN created its own non profit “IoT Academy” to support LoRa

LoraServer is created by one individual with community contributors and no commercial partner

“The community drives speed”

We made an IoT layered Data modelBased on City SDK

Every node with an ID

collecting real time data where possible

exposing real time data constantly

routed via node-red

Implementation was universal

Challenges of Placing IoT on city assets

Power

Making things blend in

Dealing with asset managers

Finding the correct people

Long term maintenance

Local Hero

IoT GO

Walk around the City and see the IoT infrastructure

Spin things and reveal how they were made, how they work and

who made them

Find out more details about all the things you collect

See real time IoT data float up from the things to the

cloud

Even tweet the devices and see your tweet converted to an

IoT MQTT message
