CFOn
CFOn, short for Compact Field Operations Network, is a concept and set of implementations aimed at coordinating field data collection and device management in remote or resource-constrained environments. The term is used across industries to describe a modular platform that supports deploying sensor nodes, mobile devices, and actuator systems with minimal human supervision. CFOn emphasizes interoperability, energy efficiency, and offline operation where connectivity is intermittent.
Core elements typically include the CFOn Core orchestrator, CFOn Nodes (field devices with sensing or actuation
Key features commonly associated with CFOn implementations include lightweight communication protocols, event-driven data collection, offline buffering,
Applications span environmental monitoring, precision agriculture, wildlife tracking, and disaster response logistics. In such use cases,
Because CFOn refers to a broad concept rather than a single standardized specification, implementations vary by
