New Developer Tools to Accelerate the
Integration of Silver Spring Technology into New Applications For
Smart Utility, Smart City and Industrial IoT Solutions
Today at Internet of Things (IoT) World 2017, the world's
largest IoT event, Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE:SSNI)
announced the extension of its developer program with the
introduction of a new developer portal, developer kits and a
simulation tool for application development. Silver Spring aims to
accelerate innovation for the Internet of Important Things™ by
streamlining the development process and expanding the number of
solution partners with access to Silver Spring’s proven platform.
Support for the Arduino developer environment, the simplification
of software tools, and the new developer portal will broaden the
potential devices and applications that can integrate Silver
Spring’s IoT technology into solutions for utilities, cities and
industrial companies.
The Developer Program is open to new and existing customers and
developers who are building the next generation of sensors,
actuators, devices and applications within the smart utility, smart
city and industrial IoT sectors. Participants of the Silver Spring
Developer Program can create and test new IoT solutions that can be
delivered through the Starfish™ platform-as-a-service (PaaS), which
is based on Silver Spring’s proven, secure, reliable and
standards-based wireless network and data platform. To register for
the Developer Program, visit developer.ssni.com/.
“Our primary goal with the Developer Program is to provide
partners with the open, scalable, and flexible tools and
technologies needed to develop the game-changing solutions of
tomorrow. As a standards-based technology company, we support and
encourage collaboration to help the industry continue to make
innovative IoT applications a reality,” said John Marcolini, GM
and VP of Product Management, Silver Spring Networks. “Starfish
enables partners to focus on their value-added application, by
providing open access to a robust IoT network and data platform.
For current customers, the Developer Program will help fast-track
the creation of innovative connectivity solutions that can improve
the lives of millions of people.”
Developer Program to Enable Efficient and Rapid Creation of
Next-Gen Industrial IoT Devices
Today’s announcement includes the:
- Developer Portal – enables
developers to create IoT solutions using Silver Spring technology.
The Developer Portal connects developers with the Silver Spring
engineering community, supporting materials, and step-by-step
documentation for the usage of the developer kits.
- Milli Shield Dev Kit for Arduino
boards (US$99.95/AU$134.95) – provides development partners
with Silver Spring’s RF mesh IPv6 technology in a form factor
designed for battery-operated devices.
- IoT Edge Router™, Dev Edition
(US$249.95/AU$334.95) – connects any sensor to Silver Spring’s
IPv6 Starfish platform via standard Ethernet or USB interface on
Silver Spring’s IoT Edge Router. The IoT Edge Router includes the
ability to develop edge applications on the popular Ubuntu Linux
distribution using SNAPS.
- Starfish Studio – is an
interactive simulation tool available through the Developer Portal
for modeling IoT devices and solutions and enabling easy
application development.
The Milli Shield Dev Kit and the IoT Edge Router, Dev Edition
are available today in the U.S. and Australia, and is expected to
be available in the UK and Europe in the third quarter of 2017,
through the Developer Portal. Silver Spring intends to announce
availability in additional markets in 2017 and beyond. Starfish
Studio will be available in late 2017.
