Why Internet of Things?
The world is full of objects generating information and things
bear a lot of useful information.
Over time this information has been lost.
When we make things communicate between themselves
(m2m) we create a new digital ecosystem enabling:
Optimized interaction with the environment
Increased variety of data for decision making
Improved quality of life and relevant services

...avoid isolated traditional solutions...
Silo technical optimization of urban services is limited by its cost and
lack of interoperability…

X
No reusability
End to end technology deployment, tailored
for each service
X
No synergies
Information generated by one service is not
used by other services in an efficient way
X
No scalability
Increasing the number of managed devices
or solutions is not cost efficient

Case: Smart Santander project
Smart Santander is a city lab for the research and experimentation of architectures, services and applications for the Internet of
Things (IoT).
20,000 IoT devices are planned to be installed from 2011 to 2014 to validate different approaches to the architectural model of
the IoT and the social acceptance of the smart city concept
1.Innovative applications and services: develop new service applications, test and experiment existing ones, and adapt them.
2.Internet of Things middleware solutions: develop and test a smart city platform with an intelligent data management module
3.Internet of Things communication protocols and technologies: test, validate and certify different communication protocols and
integrate them in the city platform
15 organisations from 9 countries
(EU + Australia)
Project Leadership:
