The fish farming industry in Iran has rapidly grown within recent years, doubling employment rates and multiplying its production. This activity began with the enhancement of the quality of fish species selected from the Caspian Sea and then continued through the development of intensive aquaculture utilising different foreign species.

The quality of irrigation water, as well as the correct management of water resources, is essential for the productivity and efficiency of the crops. Controlling and analysing water before irrigating is crucial and its quality may vary significantly depending on the time of the year. So frequent measurements are recommended.

At Smart City Expo in Barcelona (Spain), Libelium has unveiled a cloud software service to enhance its wireless sensor platform with intelligence based solutions. The Spanish company has released the first Programming Cloud Service that will reduce development costs,

Cruises have undergone an exponential growth in the last few years. More and more tourists choose to spend their holidays on board of one of those cruisers increasing the maritime traffic arriving at harbour.

Athens International Airport (AIA), in Greece, has increased the number of passengers by more than 10% in the last year. Approximately 20 million passengers went through its gates in 2016 setting a new traffic record for Athens.

Cities are increasing their population due to the massive migration and urbanisation. In fact, a report from the United Nations stated that the percentage of world’s population that lives in urban areas is expected to increase from 54% in 2014 to 66% by 2050.

Libelium has emphasised its commitment to interoperability with several new additions to its IoT ecosystem. A total of 40 Cloud platforms are now integrated with Meshlium, the Spain-based company’s IoT gateway.

RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access) LPWAN (low power wide area network) technology was designed from the bottom up to optimise wide area connectivity for Machine-to-Machine and Internet of Things (M2M and IoT) devices.

Smart farming has become a major trend in the agriculture sector. According to the UN’s Food & Agriculture Organisation (FAO), by 2050 food production may increase by 70% to feed 9.6 billion people.

Municipalities and public institutions are concerned about air, water, noise or lighting pollution in cities. In the last years, it has become mandatory through several international regulations to reduce emissions that could impact in the environment and also inhabitants lives.

Libelium continues powering the Internet of Things (IoT) development adding LoRaWAN and Sigfox wireless connectivity for North America to Waspmote OEM and Waspmote Plug and Sense! sensor devices.

Libelium releases MySignals, the most complete eHealth development platform with 15 different sensors that measure the most important body parameters (ECG, glucose, airflow, pulse, oxygen in blood, blood pressure…). All the biometric data is encrypted

The final day of this year’s IP EXPO Europe began with an educational and inspiring keynote from James Gosling, chief software architect at Liquid Robotics and the creator of programming language Java.

There was a time when I could focus on and write about a key technology development like wireless data for a few years and then, when the Internet bubble burst, move on for a few more years to Voice over IP followed by Unified Communications.

Smart Farming is not just for large farms and research centres, but is starting to impact small and medium-sized farms, says Beecham Research, a leading IoT analyst and research firm that looks closely at the agriculture sector.

The APC Smartwave IoT range has been extended with the addition of wireless sensor nodes and data loggers from UK manufacturer Webthings Group. Under the agreement, the sensors will be available exclusively in the UK from APC Smartwave.
