Seminars and hackathons on the “Internet of Things”: 6LoWPAN and LoRa technologies

Hello giktimes

As you know, we, Unwired Devices, are engaged in basic communication technologies for the “Internet of things”, that is, more specifically, communication modules and low-level software for 6LoWPAN and LoRa networks . Topics are extremely popular and in demand, but at the same time, as practice shows, most potential consumers and even electronics developers understand their specifics rather poorly.


')
Therefore, we and our partners decided to take this issue into our own hands - and to start holding seminars and hackathons on the “Internet of Things”, where you can personally get acquainted with modern technologies, and communicate directly with the developers.

So, in July:



Seminar July 25, St. Petersburg



Introduction to the “Internet of Things” for those who are interested in its practical application: existing technologies, their common features and differences, applications, a lively acquaintance with both the 6LoWPAN and LoRa (LoRaWAN) communication modules, and the SAYMON SCADA system build dispatching systems and inventory of IoT-systems on a scale from office to the whole city.



Details and registration - on the TimePad . The number of free places is limited.


LoRa modules with STM32L151 processor (Cortex-M3)

Hackathon July 30-31, Moscow



The hackathon is dedicated to using Tarantool DBMS in IoT projects - and participants will be provided with everything they need to implement their ideas: both 6LoWPAN network modules with various sensors and control modules, and Intel Edison microcomputers, allowing, without the help of Tarantool, to collect data from 6LoWPAN network, accumulate and process them.

If you read our notes about the mess that now occurs in IoT with “hardware” and low-level software, then you can safely transfer all the received impressions to the middle-level software. If a cloud that beautifully displays different analytics is not made lazy, then the data collection and processing tools for this analytics, which work at the level of end devices and IoT gateways, do not look like that - basically it is proposed to take the API of a specific cloud and implement access to it yourself.

Tarantool solves this problem. Tarantool is a combat Mail.Ru development DBMS that a) scales down to devices with ARM or x86 and 128-256 MB of memory, b) has an embedded application server with the LUA language, and c) has the means to reliably replicate data even with poor channel quality communication. That is, in general, all that you need to have on the IoT-gateway: collect data from the sensors inside an inexpensive piece of iron, digest them a bit and send them “up”. At the same time, for example, issues of integration with the MQTT API provided by the Unwired Devices IoT Gateway have already been resolved in Tarantool.

Participants of the hackathon will both learn to work with Tarantool, and realize with it the projects they have invented.

You can read more about the hackathon in the Mail.Ru Group blog . Registration - by reference .
