Abstract

The project consists of a medium scale Internet of Things and Internet of Services experiment, in a rural village in the Italian Countryside, where population is relatively aged and the village is almost digitally divided from the neighboring cities (and consequently from the whole World). A wide band wireless network with full coverage has been built, to provide several remote services: Internet access, intelligent house (garden) control, remote assistance to people. Internet of Things and Internet of Services activities are realized by means of low cost, open technology. A relevant application is represented by tele-assistance to elder people living alone. The results obtained during the first eighteen months of experimentation demonstrate a strong participation of the local population, a reduction of the house management costs, together with an increase of safety and security, which are particularly critical in rural scenarios, far from the accessibility levels typically found in metropolitan city.
