The city of Amsterdam, together with Yenlo and partners, is building the biggest iBeacon Living Lab with the help of WSO2 products. Beacons are small radio devices that send out a bluetooth signal that can be picked up by nearby smartphones. As part of the smart city initiative, these beacons will literally become part of the city. First, the iBeacon Mile (slightly longer than 3.4km), consisting of 60 beacon installations, will be built from the central station of Amsterdam to the Scheepvaartmuseum. Within a year there will be almost 3000 beacons throughout the city of Amsterdam. Beacons allow for a much more precise determination of location (from 80 or so meters to less than 50 centimetres) enabling a new level of location based services both indoors and outdoors. Through this, navigation, hyper local advertising, couponing, showing historic content about monuments and many other services become a reality. In order to make this possible we are creating a solution with WSO2 products to open up the beacons to developers by offering a set of public APIs. In this webinar we will discuss: The iBeacon Mile project How we open up a public set of APIs to developers using WSO2 API Manager WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus WSO2 Data Services Server Watch the iBeacon WSO2 webinar here: http://www.yenlo.com/en/web-ibeacon-wso2

6. o Introduction to the iBeacon Mile

7. What is the iBeacon Mile?
o WSO2 API Manager (APIM) is a complete solution for creating and
publishing APIs and managing all aspects of their lifecycle.
o Using WSO2 APIM, you can
o Create and publish APIs
o Advertise APIs in the storefront
o Version APIs
o Manage the lifecycle
o Monetize API usage
o Implement governance and security
o Facilitate community engagement
o Provide extension points
o https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM190/About+API+Manager

10. o What is a beacon?

11. Beacons gives things a personality:
- They let the city give you Public information on hyper
location
- They let advertisers make deep personal connections with
you only when it is relevant
- They can provide Help to the elderly, get people moving,
or make the city fun games and puzzles
What is a Beacon

12. It is incredibly difficult to DEMONSTRATE AND TEST smart,
creative solutions in a REAL LIFE urban environment and
answer difficult but ESSENTIAL Questions
the gateway to an IoT economy
Why the beacon mile : What problem are we tackling ?

13. A route of up to 2km with beacons lining it. This will be a
testing area for those who want to test applications such
as :
- Public way finding
- Tourist information routes
- Hyper local points of interest
- iBeacon signage in your own language
- Augmenting existing apps with additional proximity data

Unconnected Beacon

15. Dynamic Numbering
Some with Sensors Connected
With a central management console and API
Able to be re-configured to support tests
Able to be extended and adapted

17. Amsterdam iBeacon Living Lab - LoRaWAN
LoRaWAN sounds too
good to be true, but so
did 3G
3G enabled the
Smartphone
revolution. LoRa may
do that for IoT
