"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.

“Remote Things”是一个针对农村用例的物联网 (IoT) 平台，能够在减少基础设施要求的情况下运行，并具有在农村环境的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% 数据覆盖率的目标，这将使物联网技术能够在许多农村地区实现，但仍有一些特定的农村地区将因此而落后 安装 4/5G 在商业或技术上不可行，从而扩大了数字鸿沟并对农村工业产生影响。我们建议通过免许可、低成本的基于 LPWAN 的技术 LoRaWAN 来缓解这一问题，该技术在定制设计的软件平台上运行，其功能使其特别适合无法使用电力和宽带/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、牲畜监测和安全等许多应用。缺乏农村通信基础设施并不是英国特有的问题。相信该平台的发展将提供后续的国际机遇，帮助英国引领世界。
