The Internet of Things industry has taken off over the last two years. One activity I have been monitoring is how industry consortiums have been responding to IoT. At Eclipse IoT we have a goal of implementing open IoT standards, so understanding how different consortiums, old and new, are serving...

If you follow our regular IoT hangouts, you probably have seen this presentation of the Espruino Pico already: If you don’t, you really want to check out espruino.com! Espruino is an Open Source and Open Hardware project that provides a super-tiny implementation of Javascript that runs on micro-controllers. The Espruino...

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...

At EclipseCon Europe, we will be hosting an IoT Unconference on Monday, October 27. This is a great opportunity for anyone to better understand what is happening in the Eclipse IoT community. We will have updates from some of the key projects in the community, a technical deep dive into...

Today at JavaOne we announced the Open IoT Stack for Java, a set of open source technologies that will make it easier for Java developers to build IoT solutions. The focus of the technology is to enable developers to connect and manage the devices, sensors and actuators that are part...

Next week is JavaOne, the annual pilgrimage to San Francisco for all-things Java. Over the years, Oracle has done a nice job of bringing back the excitement and community feel of JavaOne. This year Eclipse will have a booth at JavaOne. We will be demoing our Eclipse IoT projects, Java...

The Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) was announced this past March, founded by GE, AT&T, IBM, Intel and Cisco. The purpose of the IIC is to create technology testbeds to demonstrate different IoT use cases and identify any potential gaps in technology or standards. IIC is careful to explain they are...

In the past year, IoT events and IoT meetup groups have been created all over the world. A lot of the Meetup groups, including the one I attend in Ottawa, have great content and networking opportunities. Similarly, there is a wealth of IoT events that you can attend throughout the...
