Remote Things - A Remote and Rural IoT Service Provider

“远程事物”是一种针对农村用例的物联网（IoT）平台，能够以更少的基础设施要求运行，并具有在农村环境中在网络边缘运行的先进功能。虽然英国政府最近的举措为四大移动运营商设定了到2025年实现95%数据覆盖的目标，这将使物联网技术在许多农村地区得以实现，但仍有一些特定的农村地区将被抛在后面，因为安装4/ 5g在商业或技术上是不可实现的，从而增加了数字鸿沟并影响了农村工业。为了缓解这一问题，我们建议采用一种免许可证、低成本的基于LPWAN的技术LoRaWAN，该技术在一个定制设计的软件平台上运行，该平台的功能使其特别适用于没有电力和宽带/光纤等底层基础设施的农村使用。这将使物联网技术能够用于环境传感、牲畜监测和安全等多种应用。缺乏农村通信基础设施并不是英国特有的问题。相信这一平台的发展将提供后续的国际机会，帮助英国引领世界。

"Remote Things", is an Internet of Things (IoT) platform targeted towards rural use cases that is able to operate with reduced infrastructure requirements and has advanced features operating at the edge of the network in the rural environment.Whilst recent UK Government initiatives have given the big 4 mobile operators a target of 95% of data coverage by 2025 which will enable IoT technology in a number of rural locations, there will still be some specific rural areas who will be left behind due to it being commercially or technically infeasible to install 4/5G, increasing the digital divide and impacting on rural industries. We propose to mitigate this with a license free, low cost LPWAN based technology LoRaWAN operating over a bespoke designed software platform with features that make it specifically compatible for rural use where underlying infrastructure such as power and broadband/fiber are not available. This will enable IoT technology for use in a number of applications such as environmental sensing, livestock monitoring and security. Lack of rural communications infrastructure is not a problem specific to the UK. It is believed that development of this platform will provide follow-on international opportunities that will help the UK lead the world.
