Updated M2M specifications issued

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has announced the publication of the complete set of updated oneM2M Release 1 specifications, the global standards initiative for machine-to-machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things (IoT).

The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) has announced the publication of the complete set of updated oneM2M Release 1 specifications, the global standards initiative for machine-to-machine (M2M) and the Internet of Things (IoT). Each oneM2M partner standards body publishes the complete set of oneM2M specifications as its own local specifications, ensuring there is one global set of specifications, recognised in each region.

ETSI says these specifications show a development that promises to enable IoT interworking and create a foundation platform to interconnect IoT devices and applications. The standards cover requirements, architecture, application programming interface (API) specifications, security solutions and mapping to common industry protocols such as CoAP, MQTT and HTTP. The updated specifications, released just one year after initial publication, have incorporated improvements based on early implementation experience and feedback from oneM2M’s first Interop event held last year.

By building upon well-proven protocols that allow applications across industry segments to communicate with each other, the updated standard enables service providers to combine different IoT devices, technologies and applications, a critical feature in their efforts to provide services across a range of industries. Release 1 has already been used in service provider deployments in South Korea, Asia and Europe for smart city and transport system deployments.

The oneM2M global alliance is now working on the second release of its specifications, which it expects to complete by mid-2016. The updated standard will include enhanced security, features for home domain and industrial domain deployment, semantic interoperability, and interworking with popular IoT device ecosystems such as AllSeen Alliance, OCF and OMA LightWeightM2M.

    Adopting universal technology platforms for tolling
    Dave Marples of Technolution argues that the continuing development of tolling-specific onboard equipment is leading us up a blind alley. We should, he says, be looking to realise universal platforms with universal application. The near-future automobile contains information systems of a sophistication to rival a jet airliner of only a few years ago, yet is 'piloted' by a considerably less well-trained individual of highly variable mental and physical capacity, and operated in a hostile, unpredictable and p
