Abstract

The currently burst of the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies implies the emergence of new lines of investigation regarding not only to hardware and protocols but also to new methods of produced data analysis satisfying the IoT environment constraints: a real-time and a big data approach. The Real-time restriction is about the continuous generation of data provided by the endpoints connected to an IoT network; due to the connection and scaling capabilities of an IoT network, the amount of data to process is so high that Big data techniques become essential. In this article, we present a system consisting of two main modules. In one hand, the infrastructure, a complete LoRa based network designed, tested and deployment in the Pablo de Olavide University and, on the other side, the analytics, a big data streaming system that processes the inputs produced by the network to obtain useful, valid and hidden information.
