And Even Longer.... Security at Edge, Smart Toys

Doing post just to keep things alive. It seems it has been a year since trying to get started again.
Now interested in LoRa WAN. Still toys.... especially Lego and construction toys. Also smart toys.

Security for physical edge devices is more and more an important topic.

Senet Microchip LoRaWAN.

Found out about this from a fortuitous meeting with Steve Ball from Senet at Xively Xperience 2015. Great presentation by Senet and Microchip regarding LoRaWAN on November 2, 2015. Outstanding technicals on how LoRaWAN works. And great demostration of the Senet network capabilities. Especially liked the hands on work with the Microchip RN2903 mote (not to be confused with the RN2843).

When I took my RN2903 kit home, got it working in downtown Boston against the overall Senet and AT&T M2M network. Very straightforward. Kudos Senet. Intrigued by the idea of use of motes in either public (ISP style) networks and private (open) networks. Was then prime for the pitch that the following group is making for TTN The Things Network.

Have a couple of ideas about how to use LoRaWAN to bridge old applications and organizations into the new world of IoT.
