An IoT-based open platform for monitoring non-ionizing radiation levels in Colombia

We present in this paper the design, test and validation of a prototype IoT platform for the remote measurement, storage, processing and georeferenced visualization of non-ionizing radiation (NIR) data. The system was designed having into account requirements of interoperability with different NIR probes, backward compatibility, auto scalability, cloud-based operation and security. The development included the design and implementation of communication interfaces for different measuring equipment, the standardization of a communication protocol, the development of a cloud computing platform for processing large volume of data and the integration of two NIR sensors.
