Opens Access to Developer Program in Ten New
Countries to Encourage Global Development and Adoption of Smart
Utility, Smart City, and Industrial IoT Services
Today at Smart City Expo World Congress, the world's leading
international event on smart cities, Silver Spring Networks, Inc.
(NYSE: SSNI) announced the launch of its developer program in a
majority of countries in Europe and a portion of countries in the
Middle East. The expansion into these new regions will help
accelerate innovation for the Internet of Important Things™, by
unifying the development process and increasing the number of
solution partners with access to Silver Spring’s proven
standards-based platform.
“Connected devices have increased exponentially in the last few
years, and are set to grow even more with the adoption of
Industrial IoT applications. By offering developers a proven
platform on which to create new solutions, they can focus their
innovation on game changing applications to solve real-world
challenges,” said Itai Dadon, Senior Director of IoT Product,
Silver Spring Networks. “We view these new regions as critical to
the growth of the Internet of Important Things™ and are excited
about the future of the program and the potential it holds for the
broader smart cities and IoT ecosystem.”
Industry leaders in Europe, such as ESB Telecoms Ltd, are also
showing their support for the expansion of the Developer
Program.
“Ireland can be at the forefront of IoT in Europe with a
standards-based network planned for municipal, commercial and
industrial customers to connect smart cities and other IoT
applications and devices,” said Rory McGowan M.D. of ESB Telecoms
Ltd. “With the launch of Silver Spring Networks’ developer program
in Europe, we’re excited about the possibilities this will present
for developers locally to create real-life apps that can reduce
operating costs, help improve efficiencies and create new revenue
streams in industries that are looking to capitalize on the IoT
opportunity.”
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.
Since the launch of Silver Spring’s developer kits in May, more
than 60 developers have started working to integrate their IoT
solutions. D3 LED, a LED digital signage manufacturer, and
eLichens, a startup company based in France and Silicon Valley that
develops low-power air quality monitoring sensors, are two examples
of companies that, since the developer kits' introduction in the
U.S. earlier this year, have leveraged Silver Spring’s developer
kits and tools to create IoT applications and services. To register

Developer Program Facilitates Rapid Creation of IoT
Applications for Accelerated Adoption
The expansion for the Developer Program into EMEA includes:
- 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 – 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
– 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.
The Milli Shield Dev Kit and the IoT Edge Router, Dev
Edition are available now in Europe, and will be available in the
Middle East by early 2018.
