Tailoring IoT platforms to the requirements of specific use cases

April 13, 2021

The Internet of Things has evolved in the last 10-15 years from a long-term visionary idea to our current reality, present in more and more domains of our everyday lives.

Many IoT architectures and platforms are being proposed today by various academic and industrial consortia, in domains as diverse as smart manufacturing, smart homes, smart cities or smart transport, to name just a few. These different IoT platforms have many things in common, as they all rely on connecting some smart sensor and actuator devices to each other and to the Internet, providing value-added services and applications to us, human users, either directly, or in an indirect manner. However, by closely analyzing their structure and operational focus, we can observe that these IoT architectures and platforms have also special features tailored to the requirements of different use cases.

Data Sensing Lab

Sensors are the future of distributed data. General-purpose computing is dissipating and becoming increasingly embedded into our lives (four words: the Internet of Things). We will soon begin to move in a sea of data, our movements monitored and our environments measured and adjusted to our preferences, without need for direct intervention.

The Disruptions of 5G on Data-driven Technologies and Applications

whitePaper | December 18, 2019

With 5G on the verge of being adopted as the next mobile network, there is a need to analyze its impact on the landscape of computing and data management. In this paper, we analyze the impact of 5G on both traditional and emerging technologies and project our view on future research challenges and opportunities. With a predicted increase of 10-100x in bandwidth and 5-10x decrease in latency, 5G is expected to be the main enabler for smart cities, smart IoT and efficient healthcare, where machine learning is conducted at the edge.

Creating secure IoT device identities

whitePaper | December 5, 2022

IoT applications are extremely vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks as they control both data access (often personal or sensitive) and connected devices. Without proper security, IoT technology will not grow as projected nor live up to its true potential in the marketplace. This paper focuses on how to create secure IoT device and sensor identities, fostering data access and interaction across devices in a trusted ecosystem.

Next Generation Mission Critical Networks

whitePaper | May 31, 2023

In a society moving towards digital, where access to data in almost real time is key to every single industry sector, Public Safety (PS) services are seen as laggers when it comes to take most of the technology available to enable agencies and emergency services to benefit the best information available. By relying in voicecentric technologies, Public Safety services cannot support themselves for instance on simple video-based use cases, which would leverage decision making processes with insightful information that could for example make a difference between life and death.
