– The IOT PlatformThe Environmental Sensing Data Network (ESDN) [8] is an infrastructure and a service developed andmanaged by the Center for IOT Engineering and Innovation (CIEI) [9] within the department ofTechnology Systems in CET. The main mission of ESDN is to enable the concept of Campus as a Lab[10], a platform facilitating easy deployment and management of networked sensors, to facilitate datacollection and data analytics in support of research and education. ESDN was designed to accommodatefour specific use cases: 1. Users, scientists, and educators can deploy sensors that do not have wireless communications options. CIEI developed a small form factor communications shim which intermediates and processes communication
