Whatarewe gettingwrong?
(source: November Five, 2016)
• 75% of narrative on ‘smart cities’ is about liveability
• 75% of smart city applications are about productivity

9. THE UGLY
Document title10

10. Document title11
Houston…dowe haveaproblem?
• Competing radio-communication protocols
• Contrasted business models
• Slow progress on open-source end-to-end standards (OneM2M)
(source: Mobile experts LCC, 2016)(source: https://xkcd.com/927/)

11. Document title12
InteroperabilityoftheIoT
• Moving from vertical integration to horizontal interoperability
• REST API-based interoperability: necessary but not sufficient!
• Need for an ontology-based end-to-end standard (OneM2M)
NB-IOT LORAWANSIGFOX
REST
API?

12. Document title13
PracticalThroughputofIoTNetworks
• LoRaWAN uses many gateways and many channels
• Lack of theoretical instruments to model such environment
• Throughput of multi-channel multi-gateway city-scaled networks?
(source: N. Acceturra, INSAT, 2017)

13. IoT Interoperability
Document title14

14. OneM2M Standard&Open-SourceVersion(OM2M)
• Reference Point one or more interfaces (Mca, Mcn…)
• Common Service Entity provides a set of ‘service functions
• Application Entity provides application logic for e2e solutions
• Network Service Entity provides services to CSE (besides data transport)
• Node logical equivalent of a physical/virtual device
(source: T. Monteil, INSAT, 2017)

23. TheIllawarra’sDigital Living Lab
• Phase 1 - Creation of the SMART IoT Hub an open lab
where researchers, students, and community members
can learn, exchange and develop their community-IoT
solutions (September 2016).
• Phase 2 - Deployment of a free-to-air LoRaWAN network
across the region. SMART is coordinating the installation
and UOW is funding the operation (December 2017).
• Phase 3 - Supporting high impact community-IoT
projects addressing key social, economic and
environmental challenges facing our region (20 projects
to date).
