I need to find a suitable Geofencing API for an IOT project that I'm working on (either free or otherwise).  

There are supposedly some 3rd party API's available that support geofencing, and I need to find something that's fairly robust/capable.  I just don't exactly know where to begin, since everything I've come across so far appears to be IOS or Andriod specific .. which doesn't apply to what I'm doing.  

What I'm envisioning is something similar to the following (please forgive my pseudo code):

// Load CurrentLocation with the latitude & longitude of the most recent location of IOT Device1
Device1 = getLocation(Device1);  

// Defines a geofence in the geofencing service
Fence1 = APIcallCreateFence(Fence1, polypoint1, polypoint2, polypoint3,...);  

// Query the API to see if the given location is inside the specified fence
isInFence = APIcallQueryFence(Fence1, Device1);  

Select all Open in new window

Can anyone here recommend a suitable API for this?  My preference is for PHP or Javascript based if it's a downloadable library ... but the language isn't important if it's an externally hosted API.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Experts,

I am a final year diploma student of Computer Engineering. Currently i and my team are looking for title for our final year project. We need your recommendation of our final year project. The topic is about network management, network security, embedded system, IoT, or cloud computing. Do you have any good idea?

If you don't mind, please share your ideas, suggestion, or experience.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
I'm from Linux server background and very new to JBOSS. I'm trying to setup a IoT application server which requires JBOSS service to provide
a web interface for the application server.
But when i check the JBOSS server state it is showing 'starting', i need this to be 'running'.

# /opt/cgms/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect controller=127.0.0.1 ":read-attribute(name=server-state)"
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => "starting"
}


I can see that the deployment is getting failed when i start JBOSS using the script standalone.sh. I've increased the deployment-timeout
up to 6000 seconds in standalone.xml, still the deployment is failing with the following message in /opt/cgms/standalone/deployments/cgms.ear.failed,

""JBAS015052: Did not receive a response to the deployment operation within the allowed timeout period [6000 seconds].
Check the server configuration file and the server logs to find more about the status of the deployment."

Here is my JBOSS setup details,

[root@app-server ~]# /opt/cgms/bin/jboss-cli.sh --connect
[standalone@localhost:9999 /] version
JBoss Admin Command-line Interface

I know that I can make free phone calls from Amazon Alexa Echo to another Elexa Echo, but what I want to research fromn my customers is the ability to uise a voice command to Alexa Echo to call a cell number or call a contact.

I want to research how this could be done.  

I'm thinking integration things like a combination of:

• VPN's to some service,
• integration with a Personal Contacts app such as Gmail,
• Use of IOT
• ITTT

Anything thoughts and directions to get me started would be very helpful.

Thank you,
Robbie.

We recently upgraded to HP's T630 thin clients which use Windows 10 IoT along with the Unified Write Filter.  Usually the same person is using our thin clients but sometimes other people use them in our Customer Service Department where we deploy many thin clients.  For some reason every time a user logs on it rebuilds their profile and I have to refresh the Citrix Receiver icon to rebuilt their icons.  I even told the write filter to allow C:\users.  This worked on our old HP t620 thin clients which used Windows 8.1 but no longer works on Windows 10.  Any ideas?  I can't just turn off the write filter, let the user log in so it builds and keeps their profile, then turn the write filter back on because users swap thin clients way too often.   Thank you.

I have a client with a Cisco cable modem that we put a switch in between so we could isolate different networks.

Out of the switch there is a connection to a Cisco router/firewall with VPN.  And there is a connection to a Cisco ASA firewall.

The problem is that a speed test performed from the cable modem get the desired and expected results. A speed test The switch behind the cable modem gets the desired results. A speed test behind the Cisco router get the desired results. But a speed test from the ASA firewall or connected switches gets about 30% of desired results.

I have Comcast. 20Mbs up/150Mbps down. I essentially want to know how much I can upload and download per hour. I come up with roughly 9GB upload per hour and then 62GB download per hour. Of course that is theoretical. Is my math correct?
