How does the infrastructure work?

A scalable, heterogeneous and trustable large-scale real-world experimental facility will be deployed. During the RWI sessions of the Future Internet Assembly in Prague in early 2009, the main requirements for a  real-world IoT experimental platform were identified. SmartSantander will address all these requirements by specifying, designing, and implementing the necessary building blocks. An initial high-level architecture  for the resulting new experimental facility has already been worked out, and is shown in Figure below. This architecture heavily relies on existing components which will be supplemented by the so far missing building blocks.
