NXP Delivers Proven Framework for Innovators Developing Novel and Secure Internet of Things Applications

Robust wireless connectivity, security,
and associated expertise is critical to the development of any
successful commercial production IoT system. NXP Semiconductors
N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI) is announcing the Modular IoT Framework that
offers professional development teams a head start in building
innovative and secure IoT applications. Using the framework as a
starting point, versus building a platform from individual
components, can save time and expense by minimizing the scope and
complexity involved with the integration of security and
connectivity.
The Modular IoT Framework offers flexibility to mix and match
NXP’s embedded hardware and software technologies spanning the vast
array of capabilities required to develop and deploy interoperable
IoT systems with edge devices, gateways, connectivity, security,
and commissioning. Framework components are tested and
verified for ZigBee® and Thread connectivity, as well as cloud
communications through Wi-Fi, Ethernet, cellular and LoRa™,
enabling access to Amazon Web Services (AWS) and other cloud
platform services.
“The NXP Modular IoT Framework gives Rigado the ability to
quickly define, integrate, and iterate the IoT system features
required by our customers via a production ready IoT platform with
documented interfaces and pre-integrated connectivity and
security,” said Ben Corrado, CEO of Rigado. “With many of our IoT
customers focused on reducing risk and time to market, the NXP
framework enables us to quickly iterate and get the right mix of
industry leading hardware, software and connectivity capabilities
to commercial production before our competitors.”
Today, developers can access the initial implementation of the
framework as an Integrated Development Experience defined by
targeted IoT use cases which includes a commercial-ready wireless
connected platform, plus all of the necessary components,
documentation and support required to be up and running with a base
level securely connected production platform in minutes. By
pre-integrating these capabilities into comprehensive, compatible,
developer-ready Integrated Development Experiences, NXP is equipped
to drive rapid time to market for IoT installations in smart
cities, smart industries, agriculture and oil and gas markets.
“With global agriculture struggling to continue feeding the
world’s population and smart agriculture presenting a unique set of
environmentally sustainable solutions, we knew we wanted to act
quickly and decisively,” said Jay Carlson, CTO at Solvz,
manufacturer of internet-connected precision agriculture
products. “The NXP IoT framework and advanced edge devices
bring a welcomed advantage when developing internet-connected
products; by having a vast majority of the middleware and even
application software in place, we can bring products to market much
faster than using traditional development patterns. This is vital
as the 2017 growing seasons rapidly approach.”
“There has been a heavy emphasis in the market on bringing
up extended cloud capabilities to support the growth of
the IoT, but there is still a significant void when it comes
to expertise required for developing the security, wireless
connectivity and commissioning infrastructure required to get the
plethora of IoT edge devices connected to the cloud,” said Denis
Cabrol, senior director for solutions at NXP.
“Acquiring proficiency in these areas can take years and
integrating appropriate security and connectivity can add
years of development time. NXP’s proven Modular IoT Framework
drastically accelerate time to market by reducing the effort, time
and expertise required to develop and connect the embedded side of
fully functional and secure IoT systems.”
The framework is shipping today via an Integrated Development
Experience targeting commercial lighting and building
automation use cases which includes:
- Modular edge node platform with Thread and ZigBee support
- Modular IoT Gateway with support for Thread and ZigBee, Wi-Fi
and Ethernet, and a secure element
- NFC based device commissioning
- Smart phone app reference design for device control via
cloud
- Cloud service reference design on Amazon Web Services, and
cloud connectivity reference design using MQTT and CoAP
The Integrated Development Experience is designed for ease of
use and supported with documentation and a dedicated community. NXP
professional support and services are also available under contract
for deeper design support. For more information, visit the Modular
