A Plain Low Threshold Iot Platform For Enabling New Iot Products From Smes

Many small and medium enterprises have existing products that they want to innovate on and move into the new era of Internet of Things. Because of this, we have developed a plain Internet of Things platform aimed towards businesses who wants to try out these new systems but does not have the resources to develop or maintain a full platform from the traditional providers. We have developed an open source solution that can be run on cheap off the shelf hardware and employs today's de facto standards for Internet of Things systems. Our solution also provides adequate functionality for an initial effort and innovation, including taking security and privacy concerns into consideration. We have also evaluated our implementation in terms of scale, which shows that the system scales well in scenarios with up to 50 sensor values per second. Which should be enough for a small business first effort to try out their products as an Internet of Things service.
