The IoT (Internet of Things) might be a revolution for the industry and for our daily life, with the promise of Smart services for Building, Home, City, Transport, Factory, etc. Orange is already a strong actor in IoT domain with 14,8 millions of objects and 330 millions of data per minute managed by the company.

IoT brings strong interoperability challenges between the different ecosystems of connected objects (OMA LWM2M, LoRa, Zigbee, etc.), the different verticals (Building, City, Factory, etc.) and the different service providers and players.

Openness is key in IoT landscape for ensuring interoperability. Open source is an important driver for faster innovation, faster development cycles. When associated with standards, open source can help in accelerating its emergence and adoption.

Orange contributions in the area of IoT include the collaboration with FIWARE and Eclipse Foundation (Orange is member of Eclipse IoT Working Group).

  3. Paris Open Source Summit, the annual meeting of European open source, was held on December 5th and 6th at the Pullman Docks in Paris for the 4th consecutive year in a row. This fantastic edition gathered around 5500 experts and amateurs around the theme: the place of open source and French actors in the digital […]

  4. RAVENS (Resilient Architecture for Very Efficient firmware updates of Network-connected Systems) is a software solution, including two components, Hugin and Munin, which enables an efficient firmware update of highly resource-constrained IoTs. Hugin is a command line tool able to generate small delta software updates, easy to install in-place on constrained devices. Hugin can then also […]

  5. pyDCOP is a library implementing many Distributed Constraints OPtimization (DCOP) algorithms. Its goal is to foster academic research on DCOP by providing an easy to use library to help researcher studying and benchmarking DCOP algorithms and building new ones. pyDCOP is use-case agnostic : it can be embedded in other application to implement distributed coordination […]

  6. The LoRa® Explorer Kit is a development board powered by Microchip that allows easy and quick prototyping of IoT objects and services using LoRa® technology. This very compact starter kit consists of an Arduino-based platform supporting LoRa® module, Bluetooth module, PCB antenna, rechargeable coin battery and temperature sensor. It is pre-configured to access to the […]

  7. Orange Labs present Le Switch Tuner – an application that gives you an opportunity to listen to major French radio channels from your smartphone transformed into a transistor radio, thanks to cardboard and two buttons: one for the stations, another for the volume. See how it works on this video demonstration (in French). Cardboard kit “Le switch”. […]

  8. OpenLPWA IoT Agent is a java library that serves as a bridge between the Orange LoRa®* network and the OMA NGSI protocol used by the Orion Context Broker as well as by other components of the FIWARE ecosystem. This library was written using following libraries: Eclipse Paho (client mqtt) Fiware NGSI Library Spring Web and […]

  9. Orange is launching IoT Soft Box, a kit to prototype end-to-end IoT solutions from devices to cloud services. It is suitable for any developer interested in discovering IoT capabilities as well as for start-ups or international corporations looking to prototype a connected object. Orange has been working very closely with ARM to provide a Live […]
