INTELTechnical overview The Intel® IoT Platform18 is an end-to-end reference model and family of products from Intel and the industry that provides a foundation for seamlessly and securely connecting devices, delivering trusted data to the cloud, and delivering value through analytics. 19The platform is one of several services by Intel that heavily pushes into the IoT, e.g. by Intel Open Labs or the Galileo developer kit. Together with the platform, there are two system architecture specifications for unconnected and already connected devices. 
Abbildung 1 Building blocks for INTEL's IoT reference architecture (source: Intel IoT Platform White paper): IoT Protocols and APIs The Wind River Intelligent Device Platform XT offers a customizable middleware development environment that provides several APIs, namely: Open JDK Lua VM SQLite and OSGi and supports ZigBee Bluetooth WWAN VPN MQTT and Cloud Connector with regard to connectivity. Business model Launching the spring of 2016, the Intel® IoT Platform Marketplace hosts Intel® IoT Platform Technology software, hardware and peripherals for sale to the public. With regard to the software, Intel uses a freemium model, offering the Wind River Intelligent Device Platform XT for free together with a (limited) version of McAfee Embedded Control Essential as “Intel IoT Gateway Software Suite. https://shopiotmarketplace.com/iot/index.html#/details Community engagement and partnership
Intel actively promotes a community building around IoT capacities and solutions, called the IoT solutions alliance. “Collaboration across the Intel ecosystem brings together the range of expertise and abilities required to create the IoT value chain. The chain begins with components, starting with ingredients, such as processors, modules, operating systems, and security software. Original design manufacturers (ODMs) use these to build boards that end up in things delivered by original equipment manufacturers (OEMS). 20 Systems integrators turn these things into industry-specific solutions with application and data analytics software. Network services connect things and cloud services, which take advantage of that analytics and application software to turn raw data into useful information.” Technical overview The ARM mbed21 IoT Device Platform provides the operating system, cloud services, tools and developer ecosystem to make the creation and deployment of commercial, standards-based IoT solutions possible at scale, according to its own website. The ARM mbed IoT Device Platform is made up of two key sets of products: device software and cloud based device management services.The part/platform to be analysed in the framework of this analysis is the mbed Device Connector, which provides the following features: Based on open industry standard protocols including CoAP/HTTP, TLS/TCP, DTLS/UDP and OMA LWM2M, enabling energy efficient data communication and device management. Includes strong end-to-end trust and security using open security standards. Works with REST APIs, making it easy to integrate with any system. Offers full integration of the developer console and web tools with mbed.com; there is no need to move to a different development environment after deployment. Provides an example web application, accelerating proof of concept projects. ARM mbed is compatible with its embedded operating system mbed OS22 which is designed specifically for IoT. It is built to offer bandwidth efficient connectivity for even the most constrained IoT devices and provides access to the ARM mbed IoT device ecosystem. IoT Protocols and APIs Secured end-to-end with DTLS, Uses CoAP/HTTP, TLS/TCP, DTLS/UDP and OMALWM2M, enabling energy efficient data communication and device management, Rest APIs to integrate with existing systems Business model The device connector is offered as freemium model, i.t. provided at no cost to IoT developers with a limitation to 100 devices, 10,000 events per hours and two API keys. mbed supports transition to commercial deployments with either on-premises infrastructure or as a service. Community engagement and partnership
On LinkedIn is a separate group installed called “mbed” with 960 members. The mbed community allows contribution and collaboration between ARM, over 50 partners, and hundreds of thousands of individual developers all over the world. ARM mbed provide a partner portal on its website. Many of the components and projects have been contributed by the community. The forum and Q&A provide developers with community support, alongside GitHub for technical input. They devide their partners into three groups: cloud partners, ecosystem partners and silicon partners. Download 9.57 Mb. Share with your friends:
