TCP/IPv6 over wireless sensor network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an essential part and key enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), where hundreds or thousands of small smart sensing or control nodes are interconnected to transmit sensing/monitoring information or control instructions. In order to implement sensing/monitoring or control services at a large scale with seamless connection to the Internet, IPv6 would be the best solution due to its many advantages including its highly scalable address scheme, stronger security, and full Internet compliance. Therefore, IPv6 over WSN is getting more and more research and development (R&D) attention from both industry and academia.

TIPoT development kit

The TIPoT development kit offers a very effective, flexible, and low-cost development platform, including an end-to-end application framework, for the experimental research of TCP/IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 WSN, as well as prototype development of various products and applications for WSN or IoT.  It allows students, teachers, researchers, hobbyists, makers, product developers and entrepreneurs to research, develop and evaluate innovative applications or technologies for low-power, low bandwidth ad-hoc wireless sensor/actuator networks with full TCP/IPv6 internetworking. Users can connect their own sensors, add more nodes, and develop or evaluate the functionality of their devices/applications that are built on IPv6 over WSN.

TIPoT development kit

TIPoT development kit has been adopted in graduate student thesis research projects at the University of Ottawa, Canada, and computer engineering project at the Algonquin College, Canada. Large scale testbed deployments are being planned at the University of Ottawa and University of Montreal. In addition, TIPoT kits are being adopted for product prototyping or establishing testbeds for quite a few applications, including smart irrigation, precision agriculture and building structural monitoring, in a number of research/engineering institutions and hi-tech companies in Asia, North America, Africa and Europe.
