3. Internet of things

4. Internet ON things
The center is the Cloud
Things are less important than services
10 years battery powered IoT applications
are an illusion until the battery tech evolves
Most of IoT applications will be always ON

5. The Cloud enables a new life for objects and
hardware
Objects and Smart Objects
IoT is not just sensors network
IoT needs designers, software engineers
and UX experts to become a reality
The business model will be all around
services
Examples of Smart objects based on Flyport

6. Evian Smart Drop: the first system to order
online without a PC/smartphone!
Objects and Smart Objects
The challenge?
Design a new
customer experience!
My grandmother understood (and now wants)
= it works!

8. Umbrella holder: the less technologic object in
your house
Objects and Smart Objects
The challenge?
think out of the box to
Solve people’s needs
It can be smart? Yes it can check the weather
forecasts for you!

10. Flyport : IoT ready platform
3 versions (Wi-Fi, GPRS, Ethernet) + common pinout
Same processor = easy app porting
Flexibility = pinout can be changed by software
Open source (HW:CC-BY-3.0 SW:LGPL-3.0)

12. Flyport : IoT ready platform
Wi-Fi, GPRS are not low power technologies
How Flyport fits IoT applications?
Low power modes!
Hibernate: transceiver OFF -> mA
Sleep: transceiver + microcontroller OFF ->uA!
Last but not least….
Wireless low power technologies need a
gateway to the Internet….that needs power!

13. Flyport : IoT ready platform
Our best solution to demo
IoT is Grove Nest
(carrier board for Flyport)
Low cost prototypes
80 different sensors/actuators starting at 3€!
Unified hardware connection
Ready to go libraries

14. Flyport : Internet services
HTTP server (webserver!)
Libraries for IoT Cloud services are available!
HTTP client
TCP client/server
UDP/FTP client
Email
SMS
Firmware upgrade over Internet

15. Create your application: free IDE
openPicus is a software framework
Stack is running on the microcontorller
(freeRTOS manages everything)
APIs = cut your development time
from 6 months to few days!
Free IDE+serial bootloader = ZERO investment

16. Create your application: free IDE
Standard C programming

17. openPicus started in Rome in March 2010 by Claudio Carnevali
(CEO) and Gabriele Allegria (CTO)
IDEA: Connect the real world to the cloud by a 2$
microcontroller and onboard connectivity to Internet
Hardware design was
discussed on our Blog.
Sharing as company culture.
Our best products
are co-designed with our
community
About the project

18. 4.000 community members
50 Universities are using Flyport for their
researches
About the project
More than 200 companies are using Flyport
into their products
We provide software and hardware
customizations
Flyport is 100% made in Italy
