The first cellular network operator for the IoT
Low throughput for high impact
Existing connectivity not adapted
Need a new connectivity solution for low throughput
Slow networking leads to many other great benefit
SIGFOX: the power of slow networking
Topology
Countrywide networks being installed around the world
SCALE: Safe Community
Alerting Network
“Democratizing safety by bringing the Internet of Things (IoT) to everyone”
SCALE Concept
Goals and Objectives
• Demonstrate our ability to extend a connected safe home to everyone at a low incremental cost, regardless of income or ability (focus on vulnerable populations)
• Identify suitable sensors/algorithms for detecting possible emergency/safety events,Jump-start a live testbed for research and identifying IoT challenges
• Identify proper schemas for sensor data, test analytics and alerting workflows
• Demonstrate the efficacy of an open data platform in connecting disparate systems with little to no coordination
SCALE multi-sensor boxes designed with off-the-shelf components:
• Client software designed to easily incorporate new sensors with minimal programming effort, allowing easy customization of boxes
• Client performs local analysis on data, publishing unusual events immediately as well as periodically updating readings
• Sensor data transmitted through best available network medium
• Plans to integrate mesh networking solutions for increased reliability
Multi-networks and Multi-sensor Box
• DIME is a one-stop shop for sensor data and associated analytics
• Publish-subscribe model: IoT devices exchange data and receive actionable messages via DIMEwithout coordinating directly with DIME maintainers
• A New Data Ecosystem: Protocol-agnostic design avoids “vendor lock-in”; devices and people freely exchange data and analytics, building on the contributions made by others
Middleware – Virtual Sensors and
Data In Motion Exchange
• Virtual sensors translate raw sensor streams to a semantically meaningful stream at a certain level – programming simplicity and flexibility
• SCALE instantiates virtual sensors, performs analytics on data pulled from DIME, and publish observations to DIME
