IoT Testing Laboratory

In this space, a series of technical tests are conducted to verify the connectivity and interoperability of devices linked to various IoT sensors and actuators. Here, technologies are evaluated and the necessary technical requirements are determined to create a standardized object model, aiming for an IoT network model that is open, neutral, and interoperable for the city of Madrid.

Pilot area

In this second zone, a real controlled environment has been set up in which the equipment whose interoperability has been previously verified in the laboratory is deployed. In this area, its behavior under real conditions is tested, monitored and the impact that interoperability brings to city services is evaluated. In short, this is where the concept of hyperconnected and hyper-automated smart public space is shaped.

Virtual Reality Laboratory

In this laboratory, we work on creating the digital twin of the IoTMADLab, aiming to produce an interactive virtual version of it. Using Virtual Reality to represent, visualize, and interact with both the real and digital realms, a controlled environment is created that simplifies the management and oversight of an IoT system, allows for testing communications, simulating services and features, and assists technicians and analysts in their decision-making process.

The Laboratory and its network

The way technology is applied to city services and the very governance of ICT are in a process of transformation in which people are at the center of the digitization processes.

In this regard, Madrid has signed the Living-in.eu initiative declaration for a sustainable digital transformation of European cities and communities. In this framework, the Digital Office of the City Council actively participates in working groups such as the one related to UserCentriCities in which people are an integral part of the co-design of digital services.

On the other hand, CEDINT-UPM and the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid collaborate with various laboratories and international research centers to deploy in real scenarios the latest technological advances for the benefit of citizens.

    Funding

    Every year, the technical secretariat of the Madrid Business FORUM asks the municipal areas for public-private cooperation projects interesting for the city, the economy and companies.

    After studying, a first selection is made. The chosen projects are presented to the representatives of the forum companies by the municipal officials. Finally, companies vote and choose the projects to be carried out each year.

    In 2021, the Digital Office presented a project that was selected by the FORUM as one of the most appreciated funded projects by company representatives. The Internet of Things Laboratory of the city of Madrid, IoTMADLab, concretizes this initiative, and the first results are presented on 22 November

    With its funding, the Madrid City Council has signed a collaboration agreement with the Center for Integral Home Automation (CEDINT) of the Polytechnic University of Madrid to support the Laboratory.

    At the end of 2022, another project was proposed, which extended the scope of the previous one, allowing additional financing, through an addendum to the agreement, to incorporate 5G technology and enhance the specific cybersecurity aspects of these specialties.
