5G Masterclass IoT in practice
Description
IoT in practice
A clothes peg with internet connection? Electronics are getting smaller and cheaper, allowing everyday things to be connected to the internet.
During the 5G Masterclass on 13 September next. rudi Niemeijer of Testconsultance Group will talk more about Internet of Things in practice.
Rudi Niemeijer, as an information scientist and electronics engineer, is up to date with the latest in mobile technology. Among other things, he has designed a blueprint for the 5G Lab and invented the Smart Potato. These days, it is very common for everyday objects to be connected to the internet. Electronics have become so small and cheap that even a clothes peg can have an internet connection. You hear daily in the media about devices that can connect to the internet and the benefits that the Internet of Things offers to the end user. But how does that work, connecting something to the internet? What does it all take to create an Internet of Things (IoT) application? And how do you test it so that it works well technically and provides sufficient added value for the end user?
Smart Potato goes "Underground":
Last January, we placed the first sensors for 5Groningen's Smart Potato pilot in the fields of farmer Pieter van Maldegem in Vierhuizen (read how that went down here). The first tests showed that an above-ground moisture sensor can be connected to KPN's LoRaWAN network - a network for long-distance communication.
Now it's time for the next step: just before the growing season starts, after a period of above-ground testing in the fields of several farmers in Groningen, the LoRa sensors went 'underground'.
Result:
All parties involved - the farmers, the sensor supplier and KPN - were curious to see whether the LoRa sensors would also signal 'underground'. First, the sensor was buried 20 cm deep, to check whether the signal was still being received by the LoRa gateway. And it actually was. Then the sensor was placed at a more realistic depth of 5 cm and the next phase of the Smart Potato pilot started. In it, we will explore the value the Smart Potato can add to the potato chain with its sensor technology during the growing season. And from which the arable farmer can derive added value for his operations.
5Groningen
5Groningen will now organise the 5G Masterclasses together with the University of Groningen and the Hanzehogeschool Groningen.
The 5G Masterclasses will now take place at the locations of the University of Groningen and the Hanzehogeschool Groningen.
This Masterclass is interesting for everyone, who wants to know more about the practical application of IoT, whether you are a student, entrepreneur or researcher.
