The KTH project Condroid has developed solutions for remote management and connectivity of isolated network equipment in challenging environments. The project includes a remote management application for Android and a flexible WSN/DTN gateway to facilitate data transmission from wireless sensor networks to external infrastructures. A pilot implementation is planned for the long-distance WiFi connection between Hargeisa and Borama cities, with presentations scheduled for October 13 and an exhibition on October 14, 2011.

1. PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release,
Stockholm October 13, 2011
KTH implements WSN/DTN Gateway and Remote Management Application
for Isolated/Remote environment
Condroid, a KTH project conducted in TSLab has developed revolutionary solutions
to connect the isolated network equipment and remote infrastructure to the outside
world.
Condroid consists of 5 master students that develop Remote Management software
for android phone, which make it enable to communicate with the network
equipment that situated far away in the isolated area. This research software
makes it possible to configure and monitor the network equipment through
available connections. In this pilot project we have implemented the SMS module
as one of the control channel. The remote management would possible to be
deployed and tested in a pilot network, such as SomaliREN, in long distance WiFi
inter-city connection between SomaliREN NOC, in Hargeisa city and Amood
University, in Borama city.
Condroid project also has successfully implemented a flexible WTN/DTN Gateway,
an innovative solution that combining the Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) approach
into the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). This solution is intended to solve the
technical issues in carrying the data from the spatially distributed autonomous WSN
motes to the outside world. The WSN motes are deployed to monitor physical or
environmental conditions, connected to a WSN Gateway, which collects the
information received from nodes, stores them in a database, and provides
interfaces between the sensor network and the external network infrastructure, by
making make them available via WiFi link and Bytewalla. Bytewalla, a DTN
implementation on Android, act as postmen that carry the sensor data.
For more information about Condroid Project, you are welcomed to attend our
presentation on October 13, 2011 and the exhibition on October 14, 2011.
