Prof. Maarten Weyn gave a presentation on low-power communication and localization. He discussed his research in localization from opportunistic to just enough systems and low-power communication. Weyn is also the founder of one spin-off company and helped facilitate two others. He discussed low-power applications that can run for years on AA batteries or other small batteries. Weyn also covered the DASH7 protocol for low-power, mid-range wireless sensor communication and its open standard for sub-GHz ISM bands.

Origin
The Dash7 Alliance Protocol originates from ISO/IEC 18000-7,
The DASH7 Alliance (D7A) enhanced ISO 18000-7 for
Ultra Low Power, Mid-Range Wireless Sensor Communication.
The DASH7 Alliance expanded the air interface to all sub-GHZ
ISM/SRD bands.
