Lincolnshire, Dec 9, 2014: Zebra Technologies Corporation, a company that makes products and solutions that provide real-time visibility into an organisation’s assets, people and transactions, today announced that it now commercially supported the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Lightweight Machine to Machine (LWM2M) Standard within Zatar, Zebra’s Internet of Things (IoT) platform.
Zatar is a Cloud-based, multi-sensor integration IoT platform for connecting legacy and smart devices to the Internet and enabling third-party applications to easily work with the devices over an open source API. Zebra has licensed ‘ARM mbed technologies’ to use in Zatar and is a launch partner for the ‘ARM mbed’ IoT Device Platform. Components of these technologies such as CoAP, serve as the foundation for proposed LWM2M Standards.
Valik Solorzano-Barboza, Senior Director, Platform Engineering, Zebra Technologies, said the IoT was at the cusp of transitioning from a niche business to broad and widespread adoption by enterprise customers. Together with ARM Technologies, Zebra could elevate the LWM2M standards to better suit the needs of the enterprise-IoT market in the OMA community.
According to Seth Newberry, General Manager, Open Mobile Alliance, as LWM2M continued to gain momentum in the IoT community, it was vital that companies brought technical inputs to OMA to ensure the highest quality specification.
