The Expansion Board allows to connect 2 communication modules at the same time in the Waspmote sensor platform. This means a lot of different combinations are possible using any of the wireless radios available for Waspmote: 802.15.4, ZigBee, DigiMesh, 868 MHz, 900 MHz, LoRa, WiFi, Sigfox, LoRaWAN, Bluetooth Pro, Bluetooth Low Energy and RFID/NFC.
Some of the possible combinations are:
Applications:
Connect any sensor in industrial environments. Compatible with RS-485, Modbus, CAN Bus and 4-20 mA.
The set of Industrial Protocol modules for Waspmote allows the user to interface with different industrial buses:
1º- Connect any sensor to an existing industrial bus
Waspmote can be configured to work as a node in the network, inserting sensor data into the industrial bus already present. Waspmote can obtain information from more than 70 sensors currently integrated in the platform by using specific sensor boards (e.g: CO, CO2, temperature, humidity, acceleration, pH, IR, luminosity, vibration, etc). This way, the sensor information can be read from any industrial device connected to the bus.
2º- Add wireless connectivity to wired buses
Waspmote can be configured to read the information from the bus and send it to the Libelium IoT Gateway using any of the wireless radio modules available: 802.15.4, 868 MHz, 900 MHz, WiFi, 4G, Sigfox and LoRaWAN.
3º- Connect to the Cloud industrial devices
Waspmote can be configured to read the information coming from the bus and send it via wireless directly to the Cloud using WiFi, GPRS, GPRS+GPS, 3G or 4G radio interfaces.

The concept of Wireless Programming, commonly know as Programming Over the Air (OTAP) has been used in the past years overall for the reprogramming of mobile devices such as cell phones. However, with the new concepts of Wireless Sensor Networks, M2M and the Internet of Things, where the networks consist of hundreds or thousands of nodes, OTA is taken to a new direction, and for the first time it is applied using both mobile phone technologies such as GPRS and unlicensed protocols such as WiFi.

In an ambitious collaboration, Telefónica, Redeia and Libelium embarked on a journey to revolutionize European energy efficiency transport.
TYPSA, Urbim, and Libelium are aware of the importance of these alliances and have joined their innovation capacity in an alliance to drive innovation in digital twins and smart technology to offer comprehensive solutions that respond to current urban and environmental challenges.
In NEOM, a revolutionary idea is born: The Line, a city that redefines sustainable urbanism. Libelium is at the forefront, of monitoring and controlling air quality. The challenge was to address air pollution stemming from construction, as well as other nearby sources such as the Red Sea port or desert sand.
