SUPERIOT aims at developing a truly sustainable and highly flexible IoT system based on the use of optical and radio communications, and the exploitation of printed electronics technology for the implementation of sustainable IoT nodes. The dual-mode optical-radio approach provides unique characteristics to the IoT system. The system can be reconfigured to use optical, radio, or both connectivity approaches. The hybrid optical-radio system allows very efficient use of resources while combining the advantages of both wireless communication methods. Energy autonomous nodes can harvest energy from both sources, resulting in an efficient and reliable energy system. Positioning accuracy can be also improved by combining optical and radio signals. Moreover, the dual-mode approach results in a highly flexible and adaptable communication system, that can operate efficiently under changing conditions and in different scenarios. The implementation of the IoT nodes will aim at maximizing printed electronics usage, resulting in a cost-efficient, environmentally friendly solution. Nodes will have essential IoT functionalities such as sensing, actuating, and computational capabilities. As important as the development of a sustainable and flexible IoT node will be the development of its networking capabilities. The project will also identify, develop, and demonstrate applications for the proposed concept. Four demonstrators will be developed at the final stage of the project, including a) Reconfigurable optical-radio IoT node implemented with printed and conventional electronics technologies (Application: smart tags), b) Reconfigurable optical-radio IoT network (Application: logistics in medical ICT scenarios), c) Limited capability IoT node implemented with printed electronics technology only, and d) Large-area IoT node/repeater. The SUPERIOT concept is based on developing an IoT system that is both sustainable by design and sustainable by implementation.

SUPERIOT旨在开发一个真正可持续和高度灵活的物联网系统，该系统基于光和无线电通信的使用，并利用印刷电子技术来实施可持续的物联网节点。双模光无线电方法为物联网系统提供了独特的特征。系统可以重新配置为使用光纤和/或无线电连接方法。混合光-无线电系统允许非常高效地利用资源，同时结合了两种无线通信方法的优点。能源自主节点可以从两种来源获取能源，从而形成一个高效和可靠的能源系统。通过组合光学和无线电信号也可以提高定位精度。此外，双模式方法产生了高度灵活和适应性强的通信系统，可以在不断变化的条件和不同的情况下有效地运行。物联网节点的实施将旨在最大限度地提高印刷电子产品的使用率，从而产生经济高效、环境友好的解决方案。节点将具有基本的物联网功能，如传感、执行和计算能力。与开发可持续和灵活的物联网节点一样重要的是其网络能力的发展。该项目还将确定、开发和演示拟议概念的应用。在项目的最后阶段将开发四个演示器，包括a)使用印刷和传统电子技术实施的可重新配置的光射频物联网节点(应用：智能标签)，b)可重新配置的光学-无线电物联网网络(应用：医疗ICT场景中的物流)，c)仅使用印刷电子技术实施的有限能力物联网节点，以及d)大面积物联网节点/中继器。SUPERIOT的概念是基于开发一个物联网系统，该系统在设计上是可持续的，在实施上是可持续的。
