Descripción del proyecto
Un impulso a la conectividad para el internet de las cosas en zonas rurales
La expresión «internet de las cosas» (IdC) se acuñó en 1999 para ilustrar el potencial de la tecnología de seguimiento de identificación por radiofrecuencia. Hoy en día, el IdC (una red de objetos físicos dotados de sensores, «software» y otras tecnologías que se conectan e intercambian datos con otros objetos y sistemas a través de internet) es la piedra angular de nuestra transformación digital. Sin embargo, la repercusión social y económica del IdC no está repartida uniformemente. En las zonas rurales, debido a una conectividad poco fiable, un mantenimiento caro y la falta de un suministro energético constante, el despliegue del IdC es especialmente difícil. En el proyecto REMARKABLE, que cuenta con el apoyo de las Acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, se desplegarán tecnologías del IdC seguras, eficientes en materia de energía, resilientes y asequibles (los proyectos piloto abarcarán desde la gestión de la fauna salvaje hasta el turismo virtual y la agricultura de precisión) en zonas rurales de Europa y África.
Objetivo
Internet of Things (IoT) technology combined with complementary support for data analytics is the corner stone of today's digital transformation. The societal and economic impact of IoT/ML systems in urban and suburban areas significantly outpaces the one in rural areas due to a limited reach of connectivity infrastructure. To reverse further widening of the urban-rural gap, we need to bring efficient and affordable IoT/ML solutions to deep rural areas, reaching out to applications and use cases ranging from wildlife management, rural tourism, livestock monitoring, water and air pollution control, and others. By identifying main gaps in connectivity and affordable data analytics and through interleaved research, development and validation in a real-world setting, REMARKABLE will address the challenge of bringing IoT and data analytics systems a step closer to seamless, energy efficient and secure deployment in rural ares. The consortium composed of six European academic partners, five companies and five associated partners representing leading academic groups from Africa, will focus on research, development, innovation and demonstration across five use cases with six demonstration sites located in rural areas across the European and African continent. The inter-disciplinary nature of the programme provides a unique opportunity for investigation of smart sensing, IoT and data science technology from non-traditional, holistic perspectives leading to new scientific achievements and innovations. Project outputs like smart IoT sensors and devices, rural IoT digital twining platforms, ultra wide-area IoT networks, novel data analytics models and architectures will find their routes to the market via active industrial partners. The project will impact EU workforce market via new interdisciplinary skills for young contributors and form new long-lasting networks of European and African institutions in the area of sensing, IoT, big data analytics and rural entrepreneurship.
