This document summarizes a presentation about wireless sensor networks and Internet of Things applications from Libelium, a company that develops hardware and software for IoT solutions. It discusses Libelium's Waspmote platform, which allows customers to monitor various parameters anywhere using wireless sensor nodes. The presentation outlines Libelium's business model of providing a horizontal hardware platform and developing vertical solutions across multiple industries like smart cities, agriculture, and water quality monitoring. It provides examples of installed smart city projects in Serbia and Spain and discusses both technical and coordination challenges of large IoT deployments.
