The newest additions to oneM2M's vast membership â " which is made up of vendors, operators and national bodies â " highlights the wide relevance of oneM2M's work across the globe, with the new members coming from Canada, America, Europe and Asia.
The National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI) opted to join oneM2M as part of the Irish Government's strategy to prepare networks for the digitalisation of key processes, including the future industrial revolution â " Industry 4.0.
"We are joining oneM2M at a pivotal time as we have just kicked-off our standards development programme for 'IoT & Future Networks' which will feed into the Irish Government's National Industry 4.0 Strategy," said Geraldine Larkin, Chief Executive of the NSAI. "Membership will give our experts the added advantage of having access to and contributing to Technical Specifications which are being created outside of the mainstream standards organisations, as well as the opportunity to collaborate with industry and research institutes from various backgrounds."
oneM2M's common service layer can be embedded within hardware and software to create a common language between IoT devices, enabling vertical interoperability, best-in-class security and interworking with legacy IoT standards.
Friedhelm Rodermund, Founder and Director at IOTECC, another company to join oneM2M this year, said: "As a company which focuses on IoT standards consulting, IOTECC joined oneM2M to understand how it is evolving further to cover the needs of more and more verticals, and how it enables interworking between oneM2M and a growing number of IoT technologies and standards."
LG CNS, another new addition to oneM2M's membership, has recently launched INFioT, an international standard which is based on oneM2M's horizontal platform. LG CNS has also embedded the oneM2M standard into its recently launched smart city platform 'Cityhub' which collects and analyses data generated and sent by various city infrastructures via IoT technology.
New member CSEM will combine oneM2M's platform with its secured, low-power IoT solutions to create autonomous and optimised interoperable platforms. GlenMartin will use its membership to explore the launch of a secure data exchange for IoT data.
The companies which have joined oneM2M since January 2018 include CSEM, GlenMartin, IOTECC GmbH, LG CNS, National Standards Authority of Ireland (NSAI), Telensa Limited and the University of Athens.
"This year has seen a great increase in membership which highlights that as momentum behind the global roll-out of the IoT gains pace, so too does the industry's standardisation efforts," said Fran O' Brien, oneM2M's Steering Committee Chairman. "This is leading to an ever-growing number of companies recognising the importance of seamless interoperability across all connectivity technologies as the foundation for a valued, future-proof IoT platform. As more IoT devices and applications emerge, this will only escalate and as a totally agnostic framework, we are confident the growth in oneM2M members will also continue."
oneM2M will also address the adoption of the IoT at its Industry Day, which will be held during IoT Week Korea, on Friday, September 14, at the COEX Convention Center, in Seoul, Korea. For more information, please visit: http://www.iotweek.kr/2018/eng/details/details09.asp.
