This paper describes the deployment and experimentation architecture of the Internet of Things experimentation facility being deployed at Santander city. The facility is implemented within the SmartSantander project, one of the projects of the Future Internet Research and Experimentation initiative of the European Commission and represents a unique in the world city-scale experimental research facility. Additionally, this facility supports typical applications and services of a smart city. Tangible results are expected to influence the definition and specification of Future Internet architecture design from viewpoints of Internet of Things and Internet of Services. The facility comprises a large number of Internet of Things devices deployed in several urban scenarios which will be federated into a single testbed. In this paper the deployment being carried out at the main location, namely Santander city, is described. Besides presenting the current deployment, in this article the main insights in terms of the architectural design of a large-scale IoT testbed are presented as well. Furthermore, solutions adopted for implementation of the different components addressing the required testbed functionalities are also sketched out. The IoT experimentation facility described in this paper is conceived to provide a suitable platform for large scale experimentation and evaluation of IoT concepts under real-life conditions.

翻译：本文描述了在桑坦德市部署的物联网实验设施架构及实验方法。该设施依托欧盟未来互联网研究与实验计划中的SmartSantander项目而构建，是全球独一无二的城市级实验研究设施。该设施不仅支持智慧城市的典型应用与服务，其可量化的成果预计将从物联网和服务互联网的角度影响未来互联网架构设计的定义与规范。该设施包含部署于多个城市场景中的大量物联网设备，这些设备将被整合至单一试验床。本文重点阐述了主站点（即桑坦德市）的部署情况，同时介绍了大规模物联网试验床架构设计的主要洞见，并勾勒出为实现试验床功能需求而采取的各组件实施方案。本文描述的物联网实验设施旨在为物联网概念在真实环境中的大规模实验与评估提供理想平台。
