Quick Start
Welcome
The present Documentation website consists of four sections, all accessible from the navbar.
- Start with the Quick Start and Introduction section for in-depth information on Acklio.
- Continue with the SCHC Adaptation Layer section to learn the most about the SCHC mechanism.
- Read detailed product datasheet in the Software Suite section.
- And last but not least, try our Demo Examples that illustrate three of our favorite use cases.
A Glossary of Acronyms helps you unscramble all the acronyms used in this documentation.
Acklio in Short
SCHC and the Acklio Software Suite turn any IoT device into a native IP addressable device and create an IP tunnel between devices and application for uplink and downlink data exchange.
SCHC (pronounce "chic") is the acronym for Static Context Header Compression, a compression and fragmentation mechanism defined by the IPv6 over LPWAN working group (driven by Acklio) at the IETF and standardized under RFC 8724.
