RPMA Drives Smart City App at AT&T Hackathon
This week, Ingenu participated in the AT&T Developer Summit, which included a two-day hackathon event. We brought our reference Application Communication Module (rACM) Development Kit, a plug-and-play development platform based on our RPMA technology, enabling rapid application development and test capabilities.
During the AT&T hackathon, Ingenu assisted an innovative application development team from Slalom Consulting, Atlanta on their submission for the Smart Cites App Challenge. The challenge was designed to improve the efficiency of city services by leveraging AT&T and sponsor technologies to address issues in parking, resource management and community engagement, among others.
Competing as “Team Canary”, the developers utilized RPMA technology to represent a gas leak detection application. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis was used to find the location of the leak, and several integrated AT&T APIs such as M2X and Flow Designer were used to route personnel and communicate during the leak repair process. The developers also utilized WebRTC, which provides browsers and mobile applications with real-time communications via simple APIs.
After nearly 36 hours of coding and development, Team Canary completed the challenge and was awarded the $10,000 prize for their innovative Smart Cities application. Congratulations to Slalom Consulting for your accomplishments during this innovative forum!
Fierce Wireless – January 6, 2016 – The emergence of the Internet of Things is pitting incumbent mobile network operators and infrastructure vendors against a small army of upstarts hoping to leverage newer, alternative technologies and business models created specifically for M2M and other non-consumer use cases. And that conflict was on display at FierceWireless‘s panel on 5G and the IoT this morning. 
Automation World – January 6, 2016 – If there’s something that Texas has plenty of, it’s remote, open spaces—not always easy to reach with modern communication networks. What Texas also has more than its share of are oil wells. Those oil and gas exploration companies face a growing need to embrace the Internet of Things (IoT); to better network their assets and leverage the data made available through smart instruments. 
OffComm News – January 6, 2016 – Ingenu and WellAware are working to expand the Machine Network™ to enable 55,000 square miles of connectivity in the greater Texas area, providing coverage for the most active US oil and gas fields (some 50% of total US production). Ideally paired, Ingenu delivers connectivity to machines and WellAware provides oilfield production monitoring and optimization. The new network will be able to scale to include future IoT and M2M devices without the need for further investment. 
Wireless Week – December 28, 2015 – Wireless Week has assembled top technology leaders to provide their thoughts on what trends the wireless technology industry should expect in 2016.
