The Carleton-Cisco Internet of Things (IoT) testbed is being built at Carleton University’s IoT Lab. Hosting diverse applications, the testbed adopts a layered approach composed of four layers: Sensing, Edge, Fog, and Cloud layers. The IoT testbed is distributed over multiple sites at Carleton University’s Campus and the City of Ottawa. In this paper, we first present the architecture and the features of the testbed. Then, we give an overview of the applications running on the testbed and their underlying techniques and protocols. In particular, we highlight the use of Edge computing and data analytics in selected applications. We also present the testbed’s deployment challenges and the proposed solutions.
