Inspired by the open source initiative and to offer low-cost solution with non-constrained R&D flexibility, the TIPoT platform is developed based on free open source software, with the following notable features:

• Low-cost hardware platform.
• A variety of sensing and display accessories (current examples include light, temperature & humidity, sensing and LCD display).
• Free, feature-rich Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
• Free, feature-rich network protocol analyzer.
• Open source operating system, Contiki (www.contiki-os.org), offers extensive design, research and development flexibility.
• Arduino shield pinout compatible.
• Software suite includes typical sensing, monitoring, and control application examples, as well as an end-to- end application framework, all using TCP/IPv6 protocol over IEEE 802.15.4.
• Significantly lowers the cost for test/experimental R&D and/or prototyping on TCP/IPv6 over wireless sensor network.

• Fitness, medical and healthcare industry
  • design and development of tele-health monitoring devices, applications and services; and other wearable or portable monitoring and safety devices and relevant applications.
• Sensing and control applications/services
  • including smart home/office/building, industrial process control and monitoring, agricultural and environmental monitoring, robotics sensing and control, and so on.
• Appliances and consumer electronics products
  • using our technology as embedded smart communication and control module.

• Researchers at universities, colleges, government and industrial research institutions/labs
  • for implementing prototypes, establishing large-scale testbeds for experimental research and performance evaluation of applications, protocols, algorithms, as well as complete products, related to IoT and other relevant technologies
• R&D engineers, science/technology enthusiasts, inventors, IoT device vendors, application developers, and service providers.
  • for the design of novel IoT devices, applications, services, and fast development of prototypes, final products and tools.
• Education community
  • e.g. academic institutions and colleges, high schools, for classroom teaching, professional training, course projects, experiments, science fairs, etc.
  • Teaching and technical training in embedded system programming, embedded operating systems, wireless sensor networks, network protocols, and so on. (Lecture notes and lab materials coming soon…)
• Hobbyists and makers
  • for developing various IoT applications and devices.
