Iprojekthi ye-OWL yi-firmware yezixhobo ze-IoT. Isixhobo sokuhlalutya esisekwe kwifu esijolise ekuncedeni ukuququzelela umbutho, ukufumanisa ukuba uphi, kwaye wenze izinto zokulungisa iintlekele kunye nokuhlangula. Le projekthi ikwaphantsi kwesambulela se-Linux Foundation, eyabhengeza ukuba iya kwenza itekhnoloji yomthombo ovulekileyo ifumaneke kubaphuhlisi kwihlabathi liphela ukunceda ukwakha umnatha oqhagamshelweyo wenethiwekhi yeemeko zikaxakeka zehlabathi.
Ukongeza, iProjekthi ye-OWL iye yaphumelela umngeni we Ukufowunela iKhowudi ebanjwe yi-IBM ngo-2019. Kodwa eyona nto ibalulekileyo kule projekthi ayisiyiyo loo nto, kodwa isixa sobomi esinokuthi sisindise xa naluphi na uhlobo lwentlekele okanye intlekele isenzeka kuyo nayiphi na indawo yesijikelezi-langa (iintaba-mlilo, iinyikima, izikhukula, iinkanyamba, imililo, .. .). Konke kubulela kuloo mesh eya kudala inethiwekhi enkulu.
I-firmware yeProjekthi ye-OWL inokuguqula nasiphi na isixhobo esingenazingcingo esinexabiso eliphantsi eliqhagamshelwe kwi-DuckLink, oko kukuthi, i-mesh network node ekwaziyo ukuqhagamshela kuyo nayiphi na enye indawo ejikeleze kuyo. Ngaloo ndlela, abaphenduli bokuqala banokusebenzisa kwaye bahlalutye idatha phuhlisa izicwangciso zamanyathelo kunye nokuhlangula, lungelelanisa izixhobo, funda ngeepatheni zemozulu, nxibelelana nabanye abantu abakwanti, njl., ngalo naluphi na uhlobo lonxunguphalo lwehlabathi okanye lwasekuhlaleni.
La Linux Foundation iqaqambise ukuba oku kuphehlelelwa linyathelo elibalulekileyo, elibeka i-ClusterDuck protocol ezandleni zoluntu ukuze babe nendawo yokuqalisa ukuyila ezi ziseko zophuhliso. Konke oku kuya kuba ngumsebenzi ovelisa kakhulu xa kufuneka kuqaliswe, ukuphucula ukuhanjiswa kwezibonelelo, ukukhathalela amaxhoba, njl.
Khumbula ukuba ezinye sele ziphunyeziwe iinetha zovavanyo, njengaleyo yasePuerto Rico, yenziwe ngamaqhuqhuva angama-63, ngalinye liyakwazi ukugubungela ngaphezu kwe-5 square kilometers. Le nethiwekhi yeProjekthi ye-OWL nayo inezixhobo ezingama-30 ezisisigxina zamandla elanga ezisasazwe kuzo zonke iindawo ezisengozini kwiintlekele zendalo.
