Meet lab(dot)SCHC

Welcome to lab.SCHC, the research and development laboratory dedicated to advancing the SCHC mechanism for the Internet of Things (IoT). Our mission is to make SCHC accessible to everyone by developing innovative solutions that optimize communication and data transfer. Join us as we pave the way for a more connected and sustainable future.

About lab.SCHC

The lab.SCHC, a collaborative initiative between Actility and IMT Atlantique, is focused on advancing SCHC (Static Context Header Compression) technology, which optimizes data packet transmission over any communication technology.

The lab aims to explore new improvements, support standardization, enhance energy efficiency, and extend SCHC's applications going beyond the state of the art.

A key objective is to promote the wide adoption of SCHC by offering an industrial-quality open-source embedded software stack, enabling seamless integration across various devices and applications. The lab is positioned to achieve financial autonomy and forge strategic partnerships globally, further integrating research, industry impact, and education.

Inauguration Presentation

Features

Interoperable

Standard enabler of IPv6 over LPWANs, SCHC also brings CoAP, UDP, and most internet based protocols.

Sustainable

SCHC compresses the volume of data transmitted, resulting in a reduced time-over-air for devices and increased cell capacity.

Secure

SCHC makes accessible and highly effective the use of state-of-art Internet security protocols, like DTLS.

Accessible

lab.SCHC proposes a free and open source embedded development solution to make SCHC implementation accessible to everyone.
