Brief explainer
Applications
Example application of our module: Indoor farm
The module serves as a very flexible attachment to any control systems that require switching. A receiver and transmitter are only required to establish the Intranet system.
An example of application of the module would be in a relay circuit as the switch relay as shown below. The receiver would interact with the switch to control a high-power system without a direct electrical connection to the controller board.
Data logging functionality
Our product can be applied in endless scenarios, examples include:
- Public transport - Sexual harassment alarm on trains, toilet lock/unlocking, inter-carriage device communication etc.
- Home automation - Lights control, security system, etc.
- Industrial application - Machinery control, process monitoring, etc.
- Healthcare - Patient room control, emergency systems, etc.
- Agriculture - Irrigation control, greenhouse automation, etc.
Conclusion
Our module is a proof-of-concept implementation of cloudless IoT technology. This paves the road towards Intranet of Things as opposed to Internet of Things. Our system operates independently of third-party vendors (such as AWS, Azure, Cloudflare, etc.), ensuring complete vendor independence.
The primary advantage of our approach is full data sovereignty, allowing users to maintain full control over information and access.
Our module is fully air-gapped, as no data is exchanged with external servers. This decreases the attack surface for malicious parties to exploit.
Businesses can achieve a higher degree of security and privacy while retaining complete ownership of their data.
