OCTA is a dynamic Internet of Things (IoT) platform that focuses on energy-aware applications. The hardware platform exists out of a main board and shields. The user can customize the platform by adding shields, which can be wireless technologies, sensors or actuators.
The OCTA software stack provides ready-to-use drivers for the main platform and the shields.
The OCTA platform is already being used in several projects, where the deployments go from 10 to 2500 platforms in indoor and outdoor settings.
