Creating a sensor tier for the EMULSION IoT platform with low-cost electronic modules

This paper presents some of the designed and experimentally-tested low-cost electronic modules, utilized for the creation of a sensor tier for the generic, multi-service,cloud-based operational platform EMULSION, which is being elaborated for rapid building of mobile Internet of Things (IoT) systems and roll-out of corresponding IoT services. The next step is to achieve full integration of the designed modules with various other existing components with different processing and communication capabilities, as to allow 1,000,000 heterogeneous IoT nodes, deployed at the sensor tier of the platform, to communicate simultaneously online within a single EMULSION cluster.
