HOP  Ubiquitous (HOPU) is an innovative SME that develops data-driven IoT solutions for urban planners to confront the current climate change goals. In addition, the SME researches network protocols, IoT management tool, IoT safety and IoT devices, based on open standards as FIWARE.

HOPU aims to assist decisions makers to boost urban sustainability through environmental data-driven services based on contextual, accurate and relevant environmental data, which is enriched at HOPU’s calibration laboratory. HOPU is able to customize and improve the data-driven services meeting the latest regulations and standards such as GDPR, OMA LwM2M for standardized remote management and data modelling fully integrated with FIWARE platform

On top of it, HOPU is currently geared towards data economy and advanced Air Quality Services to support informed decisions making through data-driven services based on own algorithms, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning techniques, customized dashboards and consultancy. In this regard, HOPU is able to provide powerful context-aware data-driven tools that support decisions makers to carry out a sustainable urban planning.

HOPU values are defined in the name of the company, HOP means Human Oriented Products, putting people in the center, thinking always about user experience and value engineering. HOPU team is composed of experts from different disciplines: communication and creative experts work on the human part of all of their projects, developing tools adapted to the real needs of the users and making it easy and useful, thanks to their experience in the web design and UI/UX; experts in software and hardware development build the final data-driven solutions for cities; management team has a strong experience in the international project management, and finally, calibration laboratory team provides high quality and trustable datasets via algorithms development that address key challenges such as cross-sensitivity, fatigue compensation and predictions/modelling of air quality.

Moreover, HOPU is leading the emerging standard IEEE PAR 2510 for IoT sensors data quality. The company is part of different organizations based on the use of open technologies and standards for an open information world as the OASC (Open and Agile Smart Cities), a non-profit, international smart city network that has the goal of creating and shaping the rising global smart city data and services market. Finally, HOPU plays a key role and participates in standardization activities: currently is chairing the Internet of Things Technical Committee of the IEEE Communications Society, is a member of FIWARE Foundation (Gold Member, Experts and Evangelists), OMA SpecWorks, ENISA IoT Security Expert Group and ETSI CIM (NGSI-LD) for data models and management of contextual information in FIWARE.
