6. THE WORLD IS INSTRUMENTED BY
EMBEDDING SENSORS IN THE BUILT
& NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND
CONNECTING THOSE SENSORS TO A
NETWORK.
BUT THERE THERE ARE LOADS OF
DIFFERENT NETWORKS THAT CAN BE
USED. TODAY IS ABOUT ONE
NETWORK OPTION.
ONE IMPACTFUL OPTION.
In 2017, teams will
search through more
that 20 wireless
connectivity choices and
protocols to support a
company’s diverse set of
IoT devices (Forrester)
9. LOADS OF LPWAN OPPORTUNITIES
https://www.i-scoop.eu/internet-of-things-guide/iot-spending-2020/wireless-iot-lpwan-forecasts-predictions-2017/
The total number of IoT
devices connected over
LPWANs will reach 700
million by 2021
(Business Insider)
The LPWAN services
market will reach $75
Billion by 2025 (ON
World)
MarketsanMarkets
predicts the global Low
Power Wide Area
Network market to grow
to USD 24.46 Billion by
2021
11. The network bit ...
A national scale infrastructure that allows all stakeholders
in the IoT LPWA market and user base, to engage, learn,
interact, innovate, speculate, explore, test-at-scale, make
mistakes, evolve, find business models, and prepare at
home for global markets.
12. A bit more about the network
PN is an LPWAN network based on the LoRa
standard.
14. SOME LORA FEATURES
Data rate = 290bps to Kbps
Payload = 51- 222 bytes
Encryption = AES128
Modulation = SS Chirp
RX bandwidth = 500-125 KHz
Link budget = 145 dB
Frequency of operation = ISM band
Interference Immunity = very high
Localization = yes

22. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE DATA HITS THE GATEWAYS?
DATA
DATA
FORWARDED, PROCESSED & STORED
23. The intelligence and
complexity is in the network
SERVER, which manages the
network and will filter
redundant received packets,
perform security checks,
schedule acknowledgments
through the optimal
gateway, and perform
adaptive data rate, etc.
The Application Enabling
Platform makes sense of
the data - i.e. it decodes
the data.
It contains all the hooks
which are needed to
build applications.
It also allows us to
manage all the end
devices.
davra networks
Each gateway will
forward the
received packet
from the end-node
to the cloud-based
network server via
some backhaul
(either cellular,
Ethernet, satellite,
or Wi-Fi).
CLOUD
24. THE NETWORK SERVER AND THE APPLICATION
ENABLING PLATFORM ARE HOSTED IN WITs
DATACENTRE
YOUR DATA CAN BE STORED ANYWHERE YOU WISH
25. MAIN MESSAGE - THERE IS A PROFESSIONAL
RELIABLE BACKEND THAT CAN SUPPORT LARGE
SCALE OPERATION
35. TYPES OF QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
Does the idea work in general? / Does the idea work on LoRa?
How accurate are these sensors?
What density do I need?
Can the sensors in the basement connect? (i.e. propagation issues)
Is there interference from other sources?
How often do I need to take readings?
How difficult is the reality of installation?
Are there opex issues?
How cheaply can I do this?
How easy is it to access my data?
How secure is this?
Am I collecting the right kind of data to make the meaning I need?
Would this be a service someone would pay for?
36. EXAMPLE OF THE
RANGE OF SENSORS
ON OFFER.
PN TEAM HAS LOTS OF
EXPERIENCE WITH
DIFFERENT TYPES
37. 1. Stuff that can be sensed
using off-the-shelf low cost
sensors
1.Register your devices on PN
2.Use & collect your data
DEMO LATER WILL SHOW HOW
2. Stuff that needs more
expensive bulky sensors,
not yet ready for large
volumes
1.Register your devices on PN
2.Use & collect your data
WHILE YOU
3. Carry out further research to
reduce size and cost via CONNECT or
other sources
3. Stuff you want to sense,
for which no sensors exist
1. Carry out fundamental research
with for example Tyndall@CONNECT
OPTIONS FOR SENSORS
41. TYPES OF QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
How does the PN backend enable my work?
What restrictions, if any, exist?
Are my gateways up to the task – how do they compare with
the ones in use in PN?
How does different backhaul scenarios effect the situation?
What kind of new business models can I build in this context?
Does this offer me a different kind of security?
Are there other things I can do at the edge?

45. TYPES OF QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE
The questions you have here could, for example, be
about other protocols outside of the LoRaWAN
framework. They will tend to be of internal
relevance to your organisation.
This approach essentially cuts down on your need
to build infrastructure. You reuse infrastructure that
already exists.
57. USING PN as part of a research proposal
Many research proposals call for testbeds –e.g.
large EU proposals, small SBIR proposals etc.
We are happy that PN be included in any proposal
Proposal needs to cover access charges

Can furnish any other details needed.

We have a long history in software radio
Hence we have created a software radio version of LoRa
We use the USRP as a frontend …. Describe what the USRP is
And we implement the LoRa functionality in software
This allows us to better explore how it works and understand how things might advance in the future.
