Iot Intern
Trento, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
I was tasked with studying LoRaWAN protocol specification and network architecture with the aim of analyzing and comparing LoRaWAN network servers (e.g. The Things Stack, LORIOT, etc.), IoT platforms (e.g. ThingsBoard, Ubidots, etc.) and architectures (e.g. on-premises, SaaS, hybrid etc.). I deployed a private LoRaWAN network operated by a Docker instance of The Things Stack running on a Debian VM (hosted on AWS). On the end-device side, I developed a PoC firmware application running on the STM32WL SoC for sending analog sensor data to Ubidots. The IoT platform has been used to visualize data and trigger email alerts (e.gt. temperature exceeding threshold). As part of the experience, I wrote a technical report in English.
