FreeRTOS designed into crowd-funded home network access product
The product comprises a small, low cost and self-contained hardware unit running FreeRTOS+Nabto, which allows users to securely access and control all their home network gadgets from anywhere. No configuration is necessary, the device simple connects to a home router
The Nabto-box uses FreeRTOS and the same peer-to-peer technology as Skype to enable all the gadgets on a home network to become part of a secure Internet of Things (IoT). Designed to offer a simple solution for all consumers, unlike other devices it does not use a dynamic IP service, does not require the consumer to pay a subscription, and does not require any cumbersome firewall or router port configuration. Users simply plug the Nabto-box into your a router to access, view the status of, control and stream data from their networked devices such as thermostats, alarm-systems, surveillance cameras, lawn irrigation systems and alarm systems, even when the devices don’t include a remote connection option.
By using the light-weight, reliable open-source FreeRTOS real time operating system, Nabto has created a low-cost, low-power consumer product that offers a wide range of capabilities. FreeRTOS enables the box to run software that performs several advanced networking functions, including:
- Servicing an IP-stack with communication originating from both the local network and the internet, and securely passing packets between the two;
- – Periodically contacting the cloud hosted base station, which is responsible for initiating peer to peer connections;
- – Ensuring all communication is encrypted.
The Nabto box is an Indiegogo crowd funded project. Find out more and get involved at; www.indiegogo.com/projects/nabtobox-one-click-peer-to-peer-remote-access-to-your-home-network-in-a-box
