Abstract Embedded systems are involved more and more into our daily lives thanks to the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). An important step in this development is the communication between the systems that been used. The possibilities of sending data in a compressed format based on a protocol standard and use a server with built-in functions, can be a good basis for complex system solutions constructed in Internet of Things (IoT). The simple protocol Messages Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) is described to be a protocol that minimizes any bottlenecks in the Machine - To - Machine (M2M) communications while it offers a number of implementing security solutions as data encryption, unique user credentials (username and password) And authentication thereof, and three different Quality of Service (QoS) levels since the data is transmitted over TCP / IP. Along with this server solution is examined in this report, the ability to implement the protocol in a real communication between the development board and an Android mobile application, where the data handled by the broker HiveMQ and stored in a MySQL database and then transferred via a web server to the mobile application. The purpose of the report is therefore to examine the implementations possibility for MQTT in a real scenario with the broker HiveMQ. Where the project resulted in a complete communications solution that corresponds to the protocol can be implemented as well as a theoretical explanation of the security solutions that can be taken to and how well the protocol can scale in a theoretical example. During the work, the development board CC3200 LaunchPad used as target platform. Keywords: CC3200 LaunchPad, HiveMQ, Broker, SQL, Android

Sensors have been an integral part of our life since a long time. Traditionally, the transmit information to a data collection center through a physical wire. However, with the introduction of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) communication protocol, more research is being done into the field of wireless sensor networks (WSN). BLE was introduced to target low power applications. The CC2650 Launchpad designed by Texas Instruments (TI) can lead to a bulky final product. The aim was to design hardware for the CC2650 micro-controller with the aim of making it more compact for use in WSNs. A top-down approach was used wherein the available product is studied to identify the redundant and reverse engineer it to design a new product. A 2 layer printed circuit board (PCB) was designed which resulted in a 64 percent decrease in size compared to the Launchpad. Also, experiments were performed to test the proof of concept.
