  • Data unloaders - using aerial drones to dump data on demand in the field to a central server such as on our campus
  • Intercampus communications

Exercises

  • Set up a secure server on an open source single board computer (BeagleBone AI or such)
  • Set up a secure server and mirror the OSE wiki on your desktop computer
  • Set up a solar-powered SBC (single board computer) server in the field, for wireless communications with direct line of sight to 20 miles in an IIoT context.
  • Run a local printserver via your cell phone, using a room HDMI screen to view the display, and print to a cluster.
