Enabling Joint IoT Solutions in Science and Agriculture

该项目的目的是在科学校园和农业环境中试用开放的物联网（IoT）网络，以及简单的互联网接口和示例传感器节点。在牛津郡的一个科学园区和伯克郡的一个智能农场，我们将整合5个LoRa中心和超过10个LoRa智能传感器作为节点示例。这些节点将使用网状网络拓扑结构，并通过多个物联网接口（包括卫星物联网和5G）连接到更广泛的互联网。该项目旨在鼓励该领域的其他公司和研究机构添加自己的传感器和网络基础设施，以改善整个网络。更广泛的目标是允许安装改善当地环境质量的网络，使每个人都受益，而无需使用许多个人和专有的通信方法。这也符合公民科学的角色，因为它允许以低成本引入环境监测，以及通过我们计划引入的网络创建和存储数据的稳健和标准化方法。这样做的额外好处是可以利用网络在项目之后进行公众宣传。

The aim of this project is to trial an open Internet of Things (IoT) network on a science campus and an agricultural setting along with a simple internet interface and example sensor nodes. On a science campus in Oxfordshire and a smart farm in Berkshire, we will integrate 5 LoRa hubs and over 10 LoRa enabled smart sensors as examples of nodes. These nodes will use a mesh networking topology and have a connection to the wider internet via multiple IoT interfaces, including satellite IoT and 5G.This project aims to encourage the other companies and research organisations in that area to add their own sensors and network infrastructure to improve the network as a whole. The wider aim is to allow networks that improve the local environmental quality to be installed that can benefit everyone as a whole without many individual and proprietary communication methods being used. This is also in keeping with the role of citizen science, as it allows for a low cost introduction to environmental monitoring, and a robust and standardised method of creating and storing data via the network we plan to introduce. The added benefit of this will be the public outreach that can be incorporated following the project, using the network.
