Description
Summary:In this paper, we describe a practical realization of an Internet-of-Things (IoT) architecture at the University of Padova, Italy. Our network spans the floors of different buildings within the Department of Information Engineering, and is designed to provide access to basic services such as environmental monitoring and localization to University users, as well as to manage service access based on user roles and authorizations. The network is based on a flexible and expandable infrastructure allowing easy node management. A support for the 6LoWPAN standard makes nodes reachable from outside the network using IPv6 and provides an infrastructure to realize IoT applications.
