11. However…
The market is fragmented
– Hardware, software, protocols…
all different, independent
– Lack of integration…
between devices, to enterprise systems
M2M development is complex
– Many different skills required…
Hardware, Embedded, IT network, Telecom,
web
– No common architectural guidelines
Current options are closed
– Monolithic solutions…
device specific, app specific, market specific
– Proprietary SDKs, protocols, potential vendor
lock-in

12. Eclipse M2M IWG
Promote open interoperability
between the M2M gateways and M2M
Interoperability server, and between M2M servers and
IT/enterprise servers.
Provide tooling for M2M gateways
Tools development including integration
with M2M servers
Provide samples, examples, testing
User/Developer environments and technical
Experience documentation via a developer hub.
