The
global standards initiative for Machine-to-Machine technologies, oneM2M has welcomed the National Standards
Authority of Ireland (NSAI) and others into its fold, saying its membership has
continued to grow as Internet of Things (IoT) accelerates, reports ITREALMS.
oneM2M, ITREALMS gathered, covers requirements,
architecture, API specifications, security solutions and interoperability for
Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and IoT technologies.
This, ITREALMS reports that cybersecurity specialist,
research institutes, service providers and Ireland’s official standards
body are among the latest companies to
join the global Internet of Things (IoT) standards
initiative oneM2M as it evolve universal framework to empower mass
adoption of the IoT across a range of sectors.
The
newest additions to oneM2M’s vast membership which is made up of vendors,
operators and national bodies – highlights the wide relevance of oneM2M’s work
across the globe, with the new members coming from Canada, America, Europe and
Asia.
The
National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) opted to join oneM2M as
part of the Irish Government’s strategy to prepare networks for the
digitalisation of key processes, including the future industrial revolution –
Industry 4.0.
“We
are joining oneM2M at a pivotal time as we have just kicked-off our standards
development programme for ‘IoT & Future Networks’ which will feed into the
Irish Government’s National Industry 4.0 Strategy,” said Geraldine Larkin,
Chief Executive of the NSAI. “Membership will give our experts the added
advantage of having access to and contributing to Technical Specifications
which are being created outside of the mainstream standards
organisations, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with industry and
research institutes from various backgrounds.”
oneM2M’s
common service layer can be embedded within hardware and
software to create a common language between IoT devices,
enabling vertical
interoperability, best-in-class security and interworking with
legacy IoT standards.
Friedhelm
Rodermund, Founder and Director at IOTECC, another company to join oneM2M
this year, said: “As a company which focuses on IoT standards
consulting, IOTECC joined oneM2M to understand how it
is evolving further to cover the needs of more and more
verticals, and how it enables interworking between oneM2M and a growing number
of IoT technologies and standards.”
LG
CNS, another new addition to oneM2M’s membership, has
recently launched INFioT, an international standard which is based on
oneM2M’s horizontal platform. LG CNS has also
embedded the oneM2M standard into its recently launched smart
city platform ‘Cityhub’ which collects and analyses data generated
and sent by various city infrastructures via IoT technology.
New
member CSEM will combine oneM2M’s platform with its
secured, low-power IoT solutions to create autonomous and optimised
interoperable platforms. GlenMartin will use its membership to
explore the launch of a secure data exchange for IoT data.
The companies
which have joined oneM2M since January 2018 include CSEM, GlenMartin,
IOTECC GmbH, LG CNS, National Standards Authority of Ireland
(NSAI), Telensa Limited and the University of Athens.
“This
year has seen a great increase in membership which highlights that as momentum
behind the global roll-out of the IoT gains pace, so too does the industry’s
standardisation efforts,” said Fran O’ Brien,
oneM2M’s Steering Committee Chairman. “This is leading to
an ever-growing number of companies recognising the importance of seamless
interoperability across all connectivity technologies as the foundation for a
valued, future-proof IoT platform. As more IoT devices and applications emerge,
this will only escalate and as a totally agnostic framework, we are confident
the growth in oneM2M members will also continue.”
oneM2M
will also address the adoption of the IoT at its Industry Day, which will be
held during IoT
Week Korea, on Friday, September 14, at the COEX
Convention Center, in Seoul, Korea.
