Workshop

What to look for when choosing your LoRaWAN devices

In the early days of LoRaWAN and TheThingsNetwork, choosing which devices to use was often driven by which embedded programming environment you were most used to, such as Arduino. Now, as the market becomes more established we are presented with a wealth of options when it comes to selecting devices. As a user of LoRaWAN wanting to build applications, you may want to consider whether your devices are well-tested, reliable and crucially if they are able to scale up. It's becoming increasingly important to choose the right devices, join us to learn how to go about choosing the right devices to suit your offering. In this workshop we will look at the following aspects:

How to find a device to do a specific task
How to assess the supply chain
How to test your chosen devices (or why it's useful for some one else do to it)
How to avoid choosing devices that fail after two months, don't live up to their specifications and don't suddenly become unavailable half way through a project

Integrations: Monitor your LoRaWAN Gateways and Nodes with The Things Stack and Ubidots

IoT is mostly about getting smart devices to talk to the cloud, but maximizing its network’s uptime and quality of service is equally important. Join us for a hands-on session on how to use existing tools to build a DIY NOC (Network Operating Center) for your LoRaWAN gateways. We’ll start by reviewing a standard TTI and Ubidots integration, streaming data from a connected device to the cloud, and then use a Plugin to automatically populate the gateway’s metadata into Ubidots’ drag-n-drop dashboards. If you have gateways out in the fields and you're are wondering whether they are performing right, then this session is for you. You’re just a few clicks away from creating your own NOC.

LoRaWAN hardware design journey

What are the challenges when developing a LoRaWAN device? We would like to take you on a journey through the hard- and firmware design process. What do you have to pay attention to, what are the basic challenges? Beyond that, the question naturally arises, why develop a product at all? The key lies in the so-called Total Cost of Ownership, many only consider the pure device costs when comparing products. However over the lifecycle, the device costs are only a small part of it. Costs for configuration, installation, the cost of battery replacement and radio performance because additional gateways may be required are additional factors. Our experience is that a precisely tailored product significantly increases the benefit of the overall solution. In the case of battery-powered devices, the service life of the battery can be optimized through special functionalities. Many of our customers in the industrial and professional environment have the requirements that they can obtain devices in this design for 10 years or longer. With a standard product, it is usually unclear how long it will be possible to obtain it in exactly the desired version and whether the firmware will suddenly have new or different functions. The small but powerful development crew of comtac, led in the sense of a start-up, with a 30 year experience background, is embedded in the Amalthea Group. Together with the electronics producers www.gesys.ch and www.elfab.ch we have the possibility to offer you everything from one source from the development to delivery of serial devices.

LoRaPWNing: Practical Radio Attacks on LoRaWAN

IoT has been adopted by many application areas including manufacturing, "smart" cities, tracking, and other use cases, and has been within attacker's reach for some time. Chosen for their far-reaching, LPWAN technologies such as NB-IoT, Zigbee, Sigox, but also LoRa play a big role in connecting these IoT devices. In this presentation, we will introduce practical radio attacks on the LoRaWAN protocol and its stack. To start the presentation, we will shortly be speaking about previous research and challenges to overcome some limitations encountered in the past when attacking these technologies. Then, we will introduce and demonstrate our tools to assess radio communications, but also to investigate further when looking for new vulnerabilities. In the end, we will conclude with the security measures we must take in place to protect from these attacks.

An end-device security under pressure from side-channel and fault attacks

This talk highlights the importance of end-device security and secure key handling in hostile environments.

As shown by the demo, a class of attacks, called side-channel and fault analysis, can be applied to extract sensitive information, such as AES keys

and firmware, as well to bypass security measures, e.g., JTAG protection. To apply those attacks, a malicious user needs physical access to an end-device; thus,

only information on one particular device can be extracted. Nevertheless, the extracted information can be used in further attack scenarios. It is important to highlight,

that side-channel and fault attacks can be applied against any class of semiconductor devices, including IoT chips, set-top-boxes, smart cards, general-purpose microcontrollers

and others. To prevent those attacks secret handling shall be performed by secure elements specifically protected against side-channel and fault analysis.

LoRaWAN Certification & Getting started with the LCTT Pre-testing Tool

Have you finished the development of your LoRa device and want to get it LoRaWAN certified? How should you prepare your product to pass the LoRaWAN certification? Answers to all of these and many more questions will be clarified during this session. Additionally this hands-on session will demonstrate how to use the “LoRaWAN® Certified Test Tool“ (LCTT) using the IMST Lite Gateway. This is a precertification testing tool designed for use at a device manufacturer’s facility to pre-test a design before shipping it for formal certification testing. This benefits LoRa Alliance® members by allowing full testing and regression testing of their device during the development phase and therefore saving time and money before starting the formal certification process. This introduction guides through the test procedure and assists to take the first steps towards successful LoRa® Certification.

Machine Learning on LoRaWAN devices

Many LoRaWAN devices are very simple: just a radio sending raw sensor values to the cloud. But this limits the usefulness of a deployment. A sensor can send that it saw movement in front of it, but not what it saw. Or a sensor might notice that it’s being moved around, but not whether it’s attached to a vehicle or is just being carried around. The reason is simple: for knowing what happens in the real world you’ll need lots of data, and sending all that data over LoRaWAN quickly diminishes your downlink budget and battery. How can we do better? In this hands-on workshop you'll get your first taste of tiny machine learning: from data collection to model building to deploying on your LoRaWAN end-devices.

Solving Asset Tracking’s Top 3 Challenges with LoRa 2.4

Asset location tracking is often disrupted by blindspots that arise when assets are located across a variety of physical environments, ranging from indoor to outdoor. This poses a challenge as current market solutions are not suited to all environments, with some being more efficient in strictly outdoor (e.g. GNSS) or indoor (e.g. BLE, UWB, WiFi) settings. Because of this, tracking capabilities are often blighted by poor accuracy and range, high infrastructure demands, and increased power consumption. This keynote will cover these three key challenges which must be overcome in order to successfully track and manage assets across both indoor and outdoor settings, and will explore how LoRa 2.4 GHz might just be the solution we are looking for.

Forecasting IoT – is what the ‘analysts’ do any better than you could do on the back of an envelope in 5 minutes?

And how can you put a figure on the market opportunity for you? In this session, Matt Hatton, one of the world’s most experienced forecasters of the IoT opportunity, will discuss the quantitative aspects of the IoT. Should we be doing better, where and how? And how do we predict what the market opportunity might be? Are analyst numbers believable and are they any better than you could calculate on the back of an envelope in 5 minutes?

LoRaWAN hardware design journey

by Stefan Zimmerman
CEO - comtac

Add to Calendar Jan 27, 2021 8:30pm Jan 27, 2021 8:45pm Europe/Paris LoRaWAN hardware design journey What are the challenges when developing a LoRaWAN device? We would like to take you on a journey through the hard- and firmware design process. What do you have to pay attention to, what are the basic challenges? Beyond that, the question naturally arises, why develop a product at all? The key lies in the so-called Total Cost of Ownership, many only consider the pure device costs when comparing products. However over the lifecycle, the device costs are only a small part of it. Costs for configuration, installation, the cost of battery replacement and radio performance because additional gateways may be required are additional factors. Our experience is that a precisely tailored product significantly increases the benefit of the overall solution. In the case of battery-powered devices, the service life of the battery can be optimized through special functionalities. Many of our customers in the industrial and professional environment have the requirements that they can obtain devices in this design for 10 years or longer. With a standard product, it is usually unclear how long it will be possible to obtain it in exactly the desired version and whether the firmware will suddenly have new or different functions. The small but powerful development crew of comtac, led in the sense of a start-up, with a 30 year experience background, is embedded in the Amalthea Group. Together with the electronics producers www.gesys.ch and www.elfab.ch we have the possibility to offer you everything from one source from the development to delivery of serial devices.

Add to Calendar Jan 27, 2021 8:45pm Jan 27, 2021 9:00pm Europe/Paris Virtual Antenna™ technology is changing the Edge in IoT, alike what streaming did to the music industry Growing up in an era of custom recorded music cassettes and CD´s, one could not have imagined the impact of technology, devaluating my whole music collection. Sure, I had a record player, a tape recorder and actually was at Philips Natlab when they invented the CD player, and within only two decades my own kids do not use any of this, as my $ 100K+ music collection is available to them for $10 per month. Technology reshapes industries, and those who recognize the opportunity, like The Things Network and its supporters, can truly benefit. In this keynote I will explain how, to date, 25 million Virtual Antennas are changing the Edge in IoT, alike what streaming has done to the music industry.

An end-device security under pressure from side-channel and fault attacks

This talk highlights the importance of end-device security and secure key handling in hostile environments.

As shown by the demo, a class of attacks, called side-channel and fault analysis, can be applied to extract sensitive information, such as AES keys

and firmware, as well to bypass security measures, e.g., JTAG protection. To apply those attacks, a malicious user needs physical access to an end-device; thus,

only information on one particular device can be extracted. Nevertheless, the extracted information can be used in further attack scenarios. It is important to highlight,

that side-channel and fault attacks can be applied against any class of semiconductor devices, including IoT chips, set-top-boxes, smart cards, general-purpose microcontrollers

and others. To prevent those attacks secret handling shall be performed by secure elements specifically protected against side-channel and fault analysis.

How should you prepare your product to pass the LoRaWAN certification? Answers to all of these and many more questions will be clarified during this session. Additionally this hands-on session will demonstrate how to use the “LoRaWAN® Certified Test Tool“ (LCTT) using the IMST Lite Gateway. This is a precertification testing tool designed for use at a device manufacturer’s facility to pre-test a design before shipping it for formal certification testing. This benefits LoRa Alliance® members by allowing full testing and regression testing of their device during the development phase and therefore saving time and money before starting the formal certification process. This introduction guides through the test procedure and assists to take the first steps towards successful LoRa® Certification.

by Sébastien Dudek
Security Researcher - Trend Micro

Add to Calendar Jan 27, 2021 11:30pm Jan 27, 2021 11:45pm Europe/Paris LoRaPWNing: Practical Radio Attacks on LoRaWAN IoT has been adopted by many application areas including manufacturing, "smart" cities, tracking, and other use cases, and has been within attacker's reach for some time. Chosen for their far-reaching, LPWAN technologies such as NB-IoT, Zigbee, Sigox, but also LoRa play a big role in connecting these IoT devices. In this presentation, we will introduce practical radio attacks on the LoRaWAN protocol and its stack. To start the presentation, we will shortly be speaking about previous research and challenges to overcome some limitations encountered in the past when attacking these technologies. Then, we will introduce and demonstrate our tools to assess radio communications, but also to investigate further when looking for new vulnerabilities. In the end, we will conclude with the security measures we must take in place to protect from these attacks.

Machine Learning on LoRaWAN devices

by Jan Jongboom
Co-Founder & CTO - Edge Impulse

Add to Calendar Jan 28, 2021 12:00am Jan 28, 2021 12:15am Europe/Paris Machine Learning on LoRaWAN devices Many LoRaWAN devices are very simple: just a radio sending raw sensor values to the cloud. But this limits the usefulness of a deployment. A sensor can send that it saw movement in front of it, but not what it saw. Or a sensor might notice that it’s being moved around, but not whether it’s attached to a vehicle or is just being carried around. The reason is simple: for knowing what happens in the real world you’ll need lots of data, and sending all that data over LoRaWAN quickly diminishes your downlink budget and battery. How can we do better? In this hands-on workshop you'll get your first taste of tiny machine learning: from data collection to model building to deploying on your LoRaWAN end-devices.

Affordable Low Power Geolocation Solutions

Increasing demand for efficient geolocation and comprehensive asset management is a growing global trend for the IoT across many industries and use cases. However, massive adoption of such solutions has been hindered by high power consumption and associated costs for the existing solutions. Semtech has developed an innovative and integrated hardware, software, and Cloud services solution: LoRa Edge™. LoRa Edge features integrated geolocation capability with both GNSS and Wi-Fi to fill this gap in the market. The solution enables energy consumption at a mere 20µWh and 3µWh for GNSS and Wi-Fi scanning respectively. This translates to operation at one tenth the power of competing solutions. For the end user, a 500mAh battery allows GNSS scanning at 30-minute intervals and Wi-Fi scanning at six minute intervals, for up to five years. The solution provides an optimal split between low power edge sensing and processing in the Cloud while harnessing the extreme energy efficiency of LoRaWAN® network connectivity. Enhanced security is implemented through an advanced crypto engine that stores and manages encryption and decryption such that security keys are never publicly exposed.

Teach your sensors new tricks with Machine Learning

Co-Founder & CTO - Edge Impulse

Add to Calendar Jan 28, 2021 12:00pm Jan 28, 2021 12:30pm Europe/Paris Teach your sensors new tricks with Machine Learning Many LoRaWAN devices are very simple: just a radio sending raw sensor values to the cloud. But this limits the usefulness of a deployment. A sensor can send that it saw movement in front of it, but not what it saw. Or a sensor might notice that it’s being moved around, but not whether it’s attached to a vehicle or is just being carried around. The reason is simple: for knowing what happens in the real world you’ll need lots of data, and sending all that data over LoRaWAN quickly diminishes your downlink budget and battery. How can we do better? In this hands-on workshop you'll get your first taste of tiny machine learning: from data collection to model building to deploying on your LoRaWAN end-devices.

Digitizing critical infrastructure for a safer and more resilient world

Lives are at stake when critical infrastructures fail us. Low-maintained dams, bridges, tunnels and mines pose a risk to everyone. The mix of poor quality of construction, age and an increase in extreme climate events calls for solutions to protect society from the growing frequency of infrastructure failures. Investing in IoT remote monitoring pays off: it is estimated that every dollar spent on increasing infrastructure resilience generates $4 of economic value. At Worldsensing, we connect critical infrastructures where it matters to help prevent life-threatening incidents. We have a global footprint in supporting the most complex industrial projects across construction, mining, rail and structural health management. Our technology combines edge computing with LoRa-based LPWA data processing and cutting-edge connectivity management to drive safety with over 270 engineering partners in more than 60 countries.

Making a business from LoRaWAN deployment

We are not focussed on a specific vertical market or single product but instead we are focussed on the LoRaWAN technology itself and deploying solutions horizontally across many sectors and applications. This is a difficult business to manage but very rewarding. From LoRaWAN devices inside diary cows, ammonia sensors in chicken houses to river water quality and electric metering in business units we require a deep understanding of the LoRaWAN technology. We have tested 10 manufacturers of outdoor gateways and over 100 devices from many manufacturers. Payload decoders, Adaptative Data Rates, SNR, RSSi, Join requests and battery life. Physical installation of gateways outdoors at height on buildings or up tall masts we have experienced it all. We have experienced many problems and issues along the way but when it works it is very rewarding.

IoT in Rural Scotland – No, It’s Not Just a Low Density City, It Needs a Whole New Approach

Digital commercial deployments in cities are based on targeting the high density of population and the ability to deploy limited types of products at scale. In IoT think parking sensors or waste bin monitors. Commercial business models and the supply chains that feed them are tuned to this “at scale” model. This is why, when they look beyond the city walls, they cannot visualise how to make money when the population density drops off – treating it as a “low density city” just does not work.

This is very understandable, but short sighted. When you look closer at rural you realise that whilst the population density falls away beyond urban, the number of use cases increases exponentially. For those who see this and can change their business model to suit, there is a great opportunity set waiting.

This talk will expand on these principles and by example present a device design challenge for the development community to seize the rural opportunity.

Unlocking the power of Network Performance Analysis

As LoRaWAN infrastructure becomes more dense and sensor deployments more critical, the need for a reliable way to identify and tackle network issues becomes more prominent. It is pretty common for a network operator to monitor the status of their infrastructure in a way which is blind to the intricate details of the LoRa radio layer, causing them to fall into time-consuming pitfalls when troubleshooting.

Join our presentation to learn how Kudzu Analytics can provide the missing piece of information in your network. By processing your radio meta-data we make it possible to monitor the health and performance of the network in real-time. Learn about the use cases and meet us to start exploring yours!

Workshop

Create a Real-Time Monitor of your LoRaWAN Network with Open Source Tools

Learn how to create a real-time LoRaWAN network monitor with Open Source Tools. Network servers are awesome at keeping your network running, but they are not made to monitor, diagnose and troubleshoot your gateways and devices. In this workshop I will show you how to store metadata from your Cloud-hosted or Open Source Things Stack v3, and how to set-up a Grafana dashboard that will give you useful insights about the current and historical state of your network, gateways and devices. And also to get alarms if something weird is going on.

Add to Calendar Jan 28, 2021 3:00pm Jan 28, 2021 3:15pm Europe/Paris Affordable Low Power Geolocation Solutions Increasing demand for efficient geolocation and comprehensive asset management is a growing global trend for the IoT across many industries and use cases. However, massive adoption of such solutions has been hindered by high power consumption and associated costs for the existing solutions. Semtech has developed an innovative and integrated hardware, software, and Cloud services solution: LoRa Edge™. LoRa Edge features integrated geolocation capability with both GNSS and Wi-Fi to fill this gap in the market. The solution enables energy consumption at a mere 20µWh and 3µWh for GNSS and Wi-Fi scanning respectively. This translates to operation at one tenth the power of competing solutions. For the end user, a 500mAh battery allows GNSS scanning at 30-minute intervals and Wi-Fi scanning at six minute intervals, for up to five years. The solution provides an optimal split between low power edge sensing and processing in the Cloud while harnessing the extreme energy efficiency of LoRaWAN® network connectivity. Enhanced security is implemented through an advanced crypto engine that stores and manages encryption and decryption such that security keys are never publicly exposed.

Workshop

Integrate The Things Stack with Microsoft Azure IoT

In just a few years, connecting LoRaWAN devices has become almost too easy of a task: there is a plethora of network server implementations as well as public and private network operators to choose from for connecting your applications.

However, as collecting sensor data becomes easier and easier, one key challenge remains: how to make sure that said data does not end up in yet another silo, and instead becomes an integral part of your information system.

In this workshop, we will be following a step-by-step approach to go from zero, to having our own LoRaWAN Network Server -- The Things Stack -- running on Azure, effectively making data more easily and efficiently routable to enterprise systems also deployed in the cloud.

We will also learn how sensor data can be synchronized in real-time with a digital twin environment modeling a complete smart building environment.

Finally we will connect our digital twin "knowledge graph" to a Blender 3D model, therefore enabling rich, real-time, data visualization and interaction, all in less than 25 lines of code!

Teach your sensors new tricks with Machine Learning

by Jan Jongboom
Co-Founder & CTO - Edge Impulse

Add to Calendar Jan 28, 2021 9:00pm Jan 28, 2021 9:30pm Europe/Paris Teach your sensors new tricks with Machine Learning Many LoRaWAN devices are very simple: just a radio sending raw sensor values to the cloud. But this limits the usefulness of a deployment. A sensor can send that it saw movement in front of it, but not what it saw. Or a sensor might notice that it’s being moved around, but not whether it’s attached to a vehicle or is just being carried around. The reason is simple: for knowing what happens in the real world you’ll need lots of data, and sending all that data over LoRaWAN quickly diminishes your downlink budget and battery. How can we do better? In this hands-on workshop you'll get your first taste of tiny machine learning: from data collection to model building to deploying on your LoRaWAN end-devices.

Digitizing critical infrastructure for a safer and more resilient world

by Albert Zaragoza
CTO & Head of Engineering - Worldsensing

Add to Calendar Jan 28, 2021 9:15pm Jan 28, 2021 9:30pm Europe/Paris Digitizing critical infrastructure for a safer and more resilient world Lives are at stake when critical infrastructures fail us. Low-maintained dams, bridges, tunnels and mines pose a risk to everyone. The mix of poor quality of construction, age and an increase in extreme climate events calls for solutions to protect society from the growing frequency of infrastructure failures. Investing in IoT remote monitoring pays off: it is estimated that every dollar spent on increasing infrastructure resilience generates $4 of economic value. At Worldsensing, we connect critical infrastructures where it matters to help prevent life-threatening incidents. We have a global footprint in supporting the most complex industrial projects across construction, mining, rail and structural health management. Our technology combines edge computing with LoRa-based LPWA data processing and cutting-edge connectivity management to drive safety with over 270 engineering partners in more than 60 countries.

Back in 2010 some organisations were predicting 50 billion connected devices by 2020. We’re nowhere close to that. But does that mean IoT is doing badly? And how can you put a figure on the market opportunity for you? In this session, Matt Hatton, one of the world’s most experienced forecasters of the IoT opportunity, will discuss the quantitative aspects of the IoT. Should we be doing better, where and how? And how do we predict what the market opportunity might be? Are analyst numbers believable and are they any better than you could calculate on the back of an envelope in 5 minutes?
