In supporting the Smart Campus initiative, different Network infrastructures are supporting by ITSC for connection of IoT Devices (e.g. Actuators and Sensors) that are used for the interaction with the environment, the gathering of measurements (e.g.temperature, humidity), and performing actions (e.g., activate a light, ventilation control).
HKUST provides three networks for connecting IoT Devices, those are LoRaWAN Network, Campus Wi-Fi Network and Campus Wired Network. Any HKUST staff member or student are eligible to use those ntework to connect IoT Devices for studying or researching. For more information on how to connect the network, follow below links to know more in detail.
