NetComm Wireless Limited (ASX:NTC), is pleased to
introduce the OMA Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) Enabler which addresses a
significantly larger global Machine-to-Machine (M2M) market by
standardising processes for simple and economical remote management
between M2M devices and their management platforms. NetComm
Wireless' LWM2M client implementation is now ready for field trials
following successful interoperability testing with a number of
LWM2M servers from different vendors at the recent OMA LWM2M test
fest in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The OMA Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) Enabler will bolster large-scale
M2M market growth by facilitating lower development and operational
costs, greater flexibility, less fragmentation and faster
time-to-market through the introduction of a new remote device
management protocol that enables greater interoperability between
M2M devices and M2M remote management servers and platforms. The
new standard is suitable for the whole M2M and Internet of Things
(IoT) market, providing support for remote device management and
simple M2M application management using the same solution.
Designed to meet the remote management needs of resource
constrained devices such as temperature or fluid level sensors that
need to run at a low cost, LWM2M will be of particular benefit in
areas where M2M solutions must be deployed at minimal cost to
ensure sustainable business models and viable mass deployments.
"LWM2M is essential for overcoming the obstacles of an
inflexible M2M landscape and will bring about a much needed move
away from today's fragmented and proprietary solutions.
Interoperability testing in Dusseldorf has shown NetComm Wireless
to have the most advanced implementation on the device side and we
are pleased to be among the first to introduce M2M devices that
work with any LWM2M management platform to unleash the full
potential of wireless M2M and IoT," said David Stewart, CEO and
Managing Director, NetComm Wireless.
The OMA Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) Enabler transfers a minimal
amount of data between devices and their management platforms,
using any network, to improve the practicality and reduce the
operational cost of M2M in areas such as smart cities, smart homes,
smart metering, tracking, industry and agriculture. The new device
management protocol overcomes the constraints of high development
costs, proprietary limitations and scalability by offering
standardised device management as well as a small central
processing unit and memory footprint and simplified M2M application
development.
Although the use cases differ, remote communication,
configuration and control capabilities are a central requirement
for any M2M deployment. The new protocol significantly drives down
the cost and complexity of carrying out critical device management
tasks such as: bootstrapping and registration, firmware updates,
remote configuration, parameter retrieval, event notifications,
remote diagnostics and remote reboot.
Lightweight M2M key benefits:
- Modern architectural design will appeal
to software developers
- A data model that is extensible to
enable any kind of M2M service
- Designed with the resource constraints
of M2M devices in mind to enable low-cost devices
- Builds on an Internet-style protocol
called CoAP (Constrained Application Protocol) which is highly
optimized for M2M services
- Efficient state-of-the-art security
based on DTLS
- Can be used across any type of
network
NetComm Wireless will showcase its latest technologies at
Mobile World Congress 2015, 2-5 March in Barcelona, Spain.
