Sierra Wireless IoT platform will provide an end to end solution for Smart City applications. It includes the following components:
a. mangOH Green open hardware platform: mangOH Green is an open hardware reference design purpose built for cellular connectivity. It allows developers to use Sierra Wireless’s Smart WP modules to build connected products.
b.Legato Open Source Embedded Linux Framework: An open source Linux-based embedded platform designed to simplify connected IoT application development. Using Legato Framework It enables developers with limited hardware, wireless, embedded or cloud expertise to build applications easily.
c. Air Vantage cloud platform: AirVantage lets you capture and exploit data from any device deployed in the field, opening many new possibilities for your business processes, service applications, and revenue streams.
d. Sierra Wireless Smart SIM: The Sierra Wireless Smart SIM is specifically designed for mission critical mobile and fixed IoT use cases.

d. mangOH Getting Started: http://mangoh.io/getting-started.html
Connectivity for the hackathon is provided by the following :
a. 2G/3G/4G WP modem
b. WiFi IoT Expander card in Client or AP mode
c. Location sensing is provided by on board GPS/Glonass.
d. Sierra Wireless Smart SIM
e. Bluetooth IoT expander card used to connect to BLE sensors
The APIs we will provide for building various smart city use cases include (but not limited to):
i. Communication Manger/ Modem services (http://legato.io/legato-docs/latest/legatoServicesModem.html)
ii. Location Sensing (http://legato.io/legato-docs/latest/legatoServicesPositioning.html)
iii. LWM2M (http://legato.io/legato-docs/latest/legatoServicesAirVantage.html)
iv. API to connect AirVantage to enterprise software (https://doc.airvantage.net/av/howto/gettingstarted/)
v. WiFi: (http://legato.io/legato-docs/latest/legatoServicesWiFi.html)
vi. Data Router (link available soon)
vii. MQTT ( link available soon)
viii. Twitter
ix. Misc API found at legato.io
The Smart City application will take input from various Bluetooth or Grove Studio sensors and provide actuator functions as needed . Bluetooth data collection is done by on board Bluetooth IoT expander card.
The sensors kit for the hackathon includes the following sensors:
a. Grove Studio sensors based : Temperature, Humidity, Dust, Air Quality, Light, Sound . Tutorial : 4119370_mangOH Green Tutorial - Arduino to AirVantage_r1.pdf
b. Bluetooth based: digital microphone, magnetic sensor, humidity, pressure, accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, object temperature, and ambient temperature
http://www.ti.com/lit/wp/swry023/swry023.pdf. Tutorial to be provided
The platform architecture for the hackathon will involve 4 different applications :
a. Arduino app: Gathering data & providing actuation using the Grove studio sensors
b. BT app: Gathering data & providing actuation using the Sensor Tag sensors
c. WiFi app : In client or AP mode
d. Twitter app: To push data to twitter
e. Data Router: Provides a way for the apps to publish and subscribe to data as well as pushes it to the AirVantage cloud using MQTT or LWM2M
f. MQTT/LWM2M: Provides mechanism to push data to the cloud
