The Open Mobile Alliance<\/a> will take part in the 10th anniversary of the SDI Summit in London, in two pioneering presentations on ***** and *****. The presentations from Joaquin Prado and Eshwar Pittampalli, will take place on ********. The presentations will address the challenges and opportunities of M2M, including innovation trends, standards and commercialisation.<\/p>\n

The Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) is the leading industry forum for developing market driven, interoperable mobile service enablers. One of OMA\u2019s key areas of work is on M2M related<\/a> specifications, among others, and offers multiple enablers for machine-to-machine devices and services.<\/p>\n

Eshwar Pittampalli, Director of Market Development at the OMA, has over twenty five years in the global telecoms market and prior to joining OMA held senior positions at AT&T Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies and Alcatel-Lucent.<\/p>\n

Pittampalli said \u201cThe M2M market is at a turning point as the economics, standards and technologies are aligning to enable the mass-adoption of business solutions. The session will explore the challenges and solutions around this, as well as the opportunities it may bring.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joaquin Prado commented, \u201cThe M2M\/IoT is still in its infancy. Experts across different domains strength the importance of developing IoT standards. These standards are posed to create a level-playing-field where innovation can occur. On the other side of the scale there are voices calling for less standardization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joaquin Prado\u2019s presentation: The Role of Standardization in M2M<\/h2>\n

M2M\/IoT is characterized by the presence of constrained devices. These devices have a limited processing power, battery requirements to last years, low bitrate, will be deployed in environments with variable network availability and in order to be rolled out in number of billions must have a low cost.<\/p>\n

Standards organizations from different backgrounds (mobile industry, consumer space, industrial environments, etc) are designing new protocols for this space. Each protocol\/enabler is based on the strength that characterized that organization\/space.<\/p>\n

The M2M\/IoT is still in its infancy. Experts across different domains strength the importance of developing IoT standards. These standards are posed to create a level-playing-field where innovation can occur. On the other side of the scale there are voices calling for less standardization.<\/p>\n

As always markets follow the \u2018try and error\u2019 approach in picking the winner. In the meantime the different standards flavours will allow evolutions of current business models into the IoT space.<\/p>\n

Consolidation across the standards is expected. OMA has already started by developing a Service Enabler (OMA LightweighM2M) based on a protocol defined by IETF, Constrained Application Protocol, (CoAP).<\/p>\n

OMA in addition of OMA LightweighM2M has also defined other Service Enablers for the M2M space:<\/p>\n

OMA Device Management, (OMA DM vx.x). OMA DM enables remote device customization, service configuration, firmware and software components update. It is supported by a data model that exposes configuration information to a server. Its latest version is REST-Compliant.<\/p>\n

OMA DM Gateway Management Object (OMA DM GwMO vx.x). OMA DM GwMO enables management authorities to remotely manipulate OMA and non-OMA devices. Its latest version is v1.1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
