Internship on Long Range Radio Systems (LPWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT, 5G) for Industrial Internet of Things

Description de l'offre

1- Context

Control & Signalling (C&S) is an activity belonging to Industry/ Industrial Controls & Drives.

C&S portfolio is composed by:
· Electromechanical control panel elements (push buttons, light indicators, joysticks, pendant stations…)
· Electronics control panel elements (wireless and batteryless push buttons, biometric switch)
· Industrial remote-control solutions (wireless hoisting remote control)
· Electromechanical industrial relays, electronics industrial relays
· Tower lights, beacons and sound signalling systems

With about 500 M€ turnover, C&S is at present N1 worldwide leader on control panel elements and ambitions to become N1 worldwide leader on relays and signalling systems.

Commercializing products and services based on IoT technologies is one of the pillars of the vision for the activity for the coming years.

C&S team members are located in Singapore and Angouleme (south-west of France), under a common management team.

2- Internship Description

Within the R&D department of the Control & Signalling, you will contribute to the development of the activity by taking part in a project for building the showcase (demonstrator) of innovative technology in the field of Long Range Radio Systems for Industrial Internet of Things.

Objective of this internship is to develop a functional prototype based on long range radio technologies like LPWAN, LTE-M, NB-IoT, 5G to connect C&S products to the cloud. Evaluation of different technological solution, choice of the best fit for C&S offers and prototype development (Hardware/Firmware) to demonstrate the technical feasibility are the different deliverable of this internship.

The internship is scheduled for a period of 4 to 6 months.
