IntLowEnd: an off-the-shelf Prototype for Programmable Low-End Networks

Abstract

programmability as focus on high end network
unlocking LPWAN technologies
interoperability
architecture and prototype
off-the-shelf hardware
lessons from the prototype
low power, low cost, long range

Introduction

PDP, vendor-unlocked, switches
PDP for high-end, not observed in low-end (LPWANS)
tradeoffs, inovative use-cases, provide internet for marginalized populations (15-17)
“can we devise programmable LPWAN devices that retain features like low cost and long range that make them popular?”
specific applications and services
conflict of objectives between LPWAN and PDP research
convergence between LPWAN and PDP.
experimented its potential by means of emulation
