THE INTEROPERABILITY ENABLER FOR THE ENTIRE M2M AND IOT ECOSYSTEM

March 1, 2016

The Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) markets are expected to see significant growth in the coming years. Yet in order to meet and exceed growth projections, the fragmented and expansive M2M and IoT ecosystem will continue to need standards to act as a glue between all the disparate stakeholders. Existing technologies and industry standards need to be linked to enable the complete ecosystem to become more integrated and open. An umbrella standardisation of this type is vital to enable interoperability in a costeffective way that also addresses the fundamental requirement for M2M and IoT experiences to be good. Sector specific standardisation is a blind alley because all it will achieve is a series of siloed standards between which integration is far from guaranteed. That’s not say a degree of intra-industry standardisation isn’t desirable and, in many cases, that already exists. What’s more important, though, is that a means is provided to integrate with the standards created by other industry sectors.oneM2M has been set up to create a platform for interoperability to bring the entire M2M and IoT ecosystem together. It’s a simply described concept but far harder to achieve in reality. Today, much of the heavy lifting has been done in terms of specifying how oneM2M will work and how it will be relevant to all organisations in the value chain. It’s time for the entire ecosystem to join the project.

Empowering DSOs to secure the Smart Grid

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

As the world’s growing need for energy meets the power of the Internet of Things, the traditional energy marketplace is rapidly transforming. Millions of meters and energy assets are connected and digitized each year, providing enormous benefits to the entire ecosystem: real time tracking of energy production and consumption data, optimized load balancing systems, streamlined operations and billing systems to name a few. As connectivity expands and the landscape is digitalizing, new distributed energy resources (DERs) and stakeholders are able to integrate into and expand the grid. DERs offer non-carbon resources that improve the energy sector’s overall carbon footprint, a key benefit for everyone.

Fixed 5th Generation Advanced and Beyond

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

One of the overarching goals of the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) F5G on Fifth Generation Fixed Network is to establish a regular rhythm of evolution for the fixed telecommunications network. This technology enhancement corresponds to the series of generations defined for the wireless network. So far, F5G has published technical specifications on use cases, generations definition of fibre networks, architecture, and more. As it continues, these documents will be enhanced and revised to describe the fifth generation of fixed networks more fully. Therefore, we need to consider the evolution of F5G. This White Paper describes the drivers, dimensions, and technologies of the F5G advanced and beyond.

CYBER SECURITY IN THE ERA OF INDUSTRIAL IOT

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

Industrial cyber security has been a topic of much debate over the last decade. Despite the industry’s widespread acknowledgement of its significance, cyber security in the industry continues to be an elusive subject for many. A huge gap exists in understanding the implications of cyber security; however, the subject has been greatly discussed. Interestingly, the industrial environment is currently passing through a key phase, where the idea of Internet of Things (IoT) is beginning to pervade all areas of industrial operation. This ongoing change is poised to expand the complex security needs in the factories of the future.
