Creating the Infrastructure for IOT Devices.

IoT involves extending internet connectivity beyond standard devices, such as desktops, laptops, smartphones and tablets, to any range of traditionally dumb or non-internet-enabled physical devices and everyday objects. Embedded with technology, these devices can communicate and interact over the internet. They can also be remotely monitored and controlled.

We are creating a network similar to that of vodafone and EE, but for Low level devices.

IoT device examples and applications

Connected devices are part of an ecosystem in which every device talks to other related devices in an environment to automate home and industry tasks. They can communicate usable sensor data to users, businesses and other intended parties. The devices can be categorised into three main groups: consumer, enterprise and industrial.

Consumer connected devices include smart TVs, smart speakers, toys, wearables and smart appliances. Smart meters, commercial security systems and smart city technologies — such as those used to monitor traffic and weather conditions — are examples of industrial and enterprise IoT devices. Other technologies, including smart air conditioning, smart thermostats, smart lighting and smart security, span home, enterprise and industrial uses. The video from Edureka explains this further.

How big is the hotspot device ?

The Hotspot is a small box that can be placed anywhere in your home with access to internet connection.

The hotspot comes with an antenna and a power adapter. all you need to do is plug the hotspot to a power socket.

The Hotspots creates a network for low level devices like motion sensors, dog tags and several others.

How much Power does it require?

There is nearly zero power cost. The Hotspot uses a small amount of power; roughly 5W at peak. This is less than a standard LED light bulb.

Will the Hotspot affect my internet quality and bandwidth?

No. The Hotspot uses very little data, and nearly zero compared to your other set of devices that are consuming 100s of GBs per month, the hotspot consumes around 500MB of data monthly.

The hotspot uses the network to send and receive data packets from other hotspots around.

How long will it take to install ?

It takes about of 5 minutes to set up and requires no further adjustments.

Is the hotspot secure ?

Security of networks is our highest priority.

• The Hotspot only requires one port open in both directions (TCP Port 44158) so the hotspot is fully secured.
• The devices are hardware secured to protect the traffic from the 868 MHz spectrum. This means the security is built-in since devices using the network have AES private key encryption at the chip level.
• complies with all FCC regulations
• The bandwidth utilised by devices is a meager 1–5kb/s, about the size of a long text message, and devices communicate with the Hotspot over the Lora-wan network, not IP (Internet Protocol).
• More information on Lora-wan can be found here: https://lora-alliance.org/about-lorawan/

Why should i have one in my location.

• We encourage you to refer new host locations to us.
• Contribute to the growth of the Network.

We interested in locations in Greater Manchester for now.
