On fast prototyping LoRaWAN: a cheap and open platform for daily experiments

Published in IET Journals, 2018

Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are gaining momentum within Internet of Things (IoT) circles, thanks to their inherent capabilities to simplify network topologies and increase coverage in low rate low power communications. This manuscript focuses on a specific LPWAN technology, namely Long Range Wireless Area Network (LoRaWAN), which is being widely investigated by the research community worldwide. LoRaWAN offers many noticeable features, including: wide coverage areas, security by design, power consumption and bandwidth optimization, and a high degree of flexibility and reconfigurability.

Four Key Factors to Design a Web of Things Architecture

Published in International Conference on Web Engineering, 2017

The spreading of Internet accesses and latest developments of Web technologies simplified the process of building architectures capable of collecting and sharing data. On the other side, a massive use of smart devices helped increasing the overall quality of the monitored process. This report illustrates how sensed raw data collected over an electrical plant by a smart device have been turned into a market valuable knowledge. Implementing and extending the Back-end Data Sharing Pattern, the proposed architecture underlines some key factors to be appointed when designing this kind of infrastructures and how they have been implemented in a real world use case.
