A statewide IoT network for New York

The nation’s first statewide public infrastructure for the internet of things is being designed by researchers at Cornell University. Working with community partners in each of New York’s counties, the research team is setting up networks based on low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology. This form of unlicensed long-range, low-frequency radio is frequently used for IoT applications, such as smart electric and water meters, traffic monitor or flood sensors.
