Patrick Clemins Presents at The Quilt Wireless Discussion Group

 

 
Patrick Clemins, PhD, Manager of Cyberinfrastructure and Partnerships, presented remotely about the efforts by Vermont EPSCoR, the Internet of Things (IoT) Conduit, the Vermont Unified Community Anchor Network (UCAN) to establish an IoT network for community use. Held on December 16, 2021, the online presentation took place virtually at The Quilt Wireless Network Discussion Group, a monthly meeting dedicated to the exploration of long-range wireless networking in support of regional research and education networks.
 
Attendees of the meeting included representatives from Vermont, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, and Utah. Nicole Price, a member of IoT Conduit and a UVM student, first presented an overview of the Burlington Waterfront Low-Power Wireless Sensor Network. Dr. Clemins followed with a presentation about how Vermont EPSCoR is working to integrate the wireless network into Vermont UCAN, outlining the progress that has been made and providing information about what can be done in the future.
