Three years ago, Sierra Wireless, IBM and Eurotech teamed up to create a Working Group that would help address Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) market fragmentation by promoting the use of open source implementations and open standards. It’s incredible how much our community has grown since then, and...

A lot of work is being done developing standards for the Internet of Things (IoT), standards like MQTT, CoAP, etc. A key benefit of these standards is that different implementations should be able to interoperate. However, as most people appreciate, the implementation of a specific standard can be open for...

For the last two years, I have been talking about why open source will be critical to the success of the Internet of Things. The current state of IoT/M2M is a lot of propriertary platforms and protocols. This can’t last and won’t win in the long term. This week during...
