Presenting FresnelPath on RIPE 93
by Aziz Soltobaev 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

Hello IoT Working Group members, I've joined this list two years ago after attending RIPE NCC in Prague and presenting our story on using LoRaWAN and enabled environmental sensors to monitor high-altitude mountainous areas in the Kyrgyz Republic. The RIPE event was very insightful. It's where I've learned about Wi-Fi HaLow technology, which I tried to test for our climate research purposes. Additionally, I designed the terrain-aware radio frequency planner fresnelpath.com to help enthusiasts build small networks in open and suburban areas. FresnelPath helps to design LoRaWAN, wifi HaLow networks, check lines of sights, and other parameters ahead of the site visits, prepare radio planning reports to customers/regulators. Recently I've shipped version in French and Spanish languages to make it more accessible in countries that speak these languages. My question is would it be possible to present this solution on the IoT Plenary at RIPE 93? regards, Aziz Soltobaev FresnelPath, fresnelpath.com Internet Society Kyrgyz Chapter, isoc.kg

Five years of home IoT: the scars, catalogued :) :) :)
by Jan Zorz - Go6 17 Aug '26

17 Aug '26

Hi all, I thought that the fellow IOT enthusiasts could potentially be interested in this little experiment... I run a small Home Assistant instance across two flats in two countries and just for fun of it I finally wrote up what living with that is really like. For example a safety automation that switched an air conditioner ON in an empty flat, a map of the flat's electrical wiring drawn with six smart plugs and a 2 kW heater, a house ghost that is completely useless, and a television whose missing audio is fixed by switching the amplifier off :) https://jan.zorz.si/HA-automations/ Just a few (sometimes sarcastic) thoughts and experience building and running home automation, what we can do with it and most important - what not to do :) Feedback and thoughts welcome! Have fun and cheers, Jan Žorž -- Anything that can be configured can be misconfigured. [RFC5505]

Ramona Marfievici for co-chair
by Ramona Marfievici 21 May '26

21 May '26

Dear All, I am writing to formally express my interest in the Co-Chair position of the IoT Working Group. I am a Principal IoT Engineer at Digital Catapult, where I lead the IoT team, and have been an active member of the BSI's IoT/1 committee since 2021. Together, these roles have given me a strong foundation in both the technical and standards dimensions of IoT — experience I would bring directly to this position. Over the last 20+ years, my work was focused at the intersection of embedded systems, IoT, cyber-physical systems, with a focus on IoT and OT cybersecurity in the last years. I have expertise across in R&D and IoT solutions development leading the design, build and deployment of end-to-end IoT systems in the wild and urban environments, across different industries, from energy and gas to manufacturing and defence. In addition, I’ve been a co-founder of the IoT-CPSBench academic initiative, contributing to defining methodologies for testing and benchmarking IoT solutions. I have led the IoT Foresight and Experimentation project at Digital Catapult, benchmarking IoT devices and localisation solvers, and digital proximity solutions during Covid-19, and the Connected Ecosystem meetup event driving the conversations for the London IoT ecosystem, sharing learnings from member community, bringing together the most relevant and leading-edge expertise, know-how, domain knowledge, creating an environment for the discussions to happen and companies to showcase solutions. In addition to my professional role, I serve on industry forums and scientific committees, and technology-focused accelerators. Added Values as Co-Chair I believe I bring a unique profile that combines: - deep academic and industrial expertise in IoT across the whole stack - operational and testing insights through tool development and collaboration with academia and industry - strong connection within the IoT ecosystem and standardisation - experience with public engagement, charring panels with industry and academic partners, creating awareness on IoT and OT cybersecurity vulnerabilities, solutions and best practices Vision as Co-Chair As Co-Chair, I would like to: - strengthen the dialog between industry, academia, startups and SMEs and policy makers - support initiatives around IoT security evaluation and benchmarking, methodologies, and best practices - foster new contributions from diverse backgrounds and geographical areas - ensure continuity with the WG’s past work while driving new efforts aligned with emerging regulations and industry needs. I would be honoured to contribute my expertise and energy to help the IoT WG continue its valuable mission. I look forward to the opportunity to support and serve the community.

Re: Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book
by Peter Anderson 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

*(Apologies for cross-posting)* As a researcher, I have never come across a highly intensive and inclusive book like "The Internet Ecosystem". The book englobes the whole Internet Ecosystem with the correct information compared to misleading information from blogs/wikipedia on the Internet. This book was reviewed by Vint Cerf. I have just completed the reading, I will highly recommend it and it is nice to have a copy to keep for reference. Professor Peter Anderson Head of Research ------------------------------ *From:* Nikesh B. Simmandree <nikeshbs(a)outlook.com> *Sent:* Monday, August 18, 2025 1:35 PM *To:* alac-announce(a)icann.org <alac-announce(a)icann.org>; alac(a)icann.org < alac(a)icann.org>; at-large(a)icann.org <at-large(a)icann.org>; afri-discuss(a)icann.org <afri-discuss(a)icann.org> *Subject:* Launch of The Internet Ecosystem Book Dear Community, I am thrilled to announce the launch of my book, *The Internet Ecosystem* — a comprehensive exploration of the history, architecture, governance, and future of the Internet. This book distills decades of technological evolution — from ARPANET and packet switching, to AI, Web3, quantum networks, and beyond — into a clear, engaging narrative accessible to both technical and non-technical readers *What the Book Covers* - *The Past:* How Cold War research, ARPANET, and packet switching gave birth to the Internet we know today. - *The Present:* The intricate roles of ISPs, backbone providers, cloud infrastructure, AI, cybersecurity, and global governance shaping our daily online experiences. - *The Future:* Insights into 5G/6G, blockchain, immersive technologies, quantum security, and the Internet in 2050. With *49 detailed chapters*, the book provides a definitive yet approachable reference for students, professionals, policymakers, and curious readers alike. My mission with *The Internet Ecosystem* is to make the Internet’s complexity understandable — showing not only *how* the Internet works, but also *why* it matters and has become one of the most transformative human inventions — while sparking dialogue on how we build a secure, inclusive, and sustainable digital future. In the 21st century, understanding the Internet is not optional — it’s essential. Whether you’re a business leader, policymaker, educator, student, or everyday Internet user, this book provides the context and clarity you need to navigate the opportunities and challenges of our connected world. *Get Your Copy* *The Internet Ecosystem* is now available: https://payhip.com/b/hfvYg Thank you, Best Regards, Nikesh B.
