Finding a scalable open-source IoT framework that reliably and securely connects your devices to the cloud while fitting your business needs, not dictating them, turns out to be a little more challenging than it first looks. For a business or professional service, an IoT system needs to be able to offer four things 1) Scalability Be able to scale the solution in a manner that doesn't have operating costs/bandwidth run out of control. 2) Be secure Operate in a secure environment that prevents the system losing date or being hi-jacked. 3) Use open-standards throughout Be based on open-source standards to avoid proprietary lock-in and allow the business to control its own destiny, contribute, collaborate, partner or quickly and easily find help in the community, if required. 4) Manage & Inter-operate The framework must allow that allow remote day-to-day device management and interoperability with other sensors & systems Find out more about how the Creator IoT Framework meets these challenges

 Scaling devices simply
requires more devices to

12. LWM2M is an open standard for device
management
IPSO provides a common Object Model
to standardise sensors or actuators
Support a ‘subscription’ model, easily
implements one-to-many updates
LWM2M and IPSO objects

13. IPSO specification
 IPSO provides a common Object Model to
standardise sensors or actuators
 IoT devices read values directly from their
sensors and update their IPSO objects
 Actuators observe their IPSO objects too
 IoT devices have a status to read or control
 Temperature value
 Battery level
 Relay position
 Firmware version
Internet Protocol for Smart Objects
/3303/0/5700
/3/0/9
Type / Instance / Resource
3 - Device info
0 - First device
9 - Battery level
3303 - Temperature
0 - First sensor
5700 - Sensor value

14. LWM2M Device Mngnt
 Light weight for constrained devices
 Scalable for many nodes
 Pull & push architectures supported for
efficient use of bandwidth & power
 Standardized device management for
items such as firmware management,
on-boarding, security, access control
 Service enablement
 Works over local & cellular networks
