Abstract:

A network-based sensing system for monitoring an object is disclosed. The system includes a sensor, attached to the object, that collects object information, a first wireless access point that operates in a first private network covering a first private region, and at least one cellular base station that operates in a public network outside of the first private region. The sensor includes functionality to detect a location of the sensor in a location detection period and to determine a type of network coverage of the sensor. The sensor establishes connection with the first wireless access point via a first private network for transmitting the object information, when the sensor is covered by the first private network, and with the at least one cellular base station via a public cellular network for transmitting the object information, when the sensor is covered by only the public cellular network.

Abstract:

A system for monitoring livestock in a ranching environment. The system includes tag sensors attached to animals, and configured to collect monitoring data from the animals, a first access point, configured to receive the collected monitoring data from the tag sensors and to process the collected monitoring data, an Internet of Things (IoT) link established between each of the tag sensors and the access point, and an IoT communication protocol overlay that enables synchronized uplinks from the tag sensors to the first access point via the IoT links. The IoT communication protocol overlay governs transmissions of monitoring data by the tag sensors to the access point. The system further includes a hub/cloud platform configured to receive the processed monitoring data from the first access point, perform data analytics on the processed monitoring data, and provide a user interface that enables a user to monitor the livestock.

Abstract:

A system for accessing data in a field environment. The system including data access devices to access data items, at least one access point to receive a first data item from a first data access device and provide a second data item to a second data access device, an Internet of Things (IoT) narrowband link established between the at least one access point and the data access devices, an IoT communication protocol overlay that governs synchronized transmissions of the data items between the data access devices and the at least one access point, and a hub/cloud platform to receive the first data item from the access point, perform data services on the received first data item to generate the second data item, and provide a user interface that enables a user of the second data access device to access the second data item via the access point.
