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
