The Internet of Things cloud platform is ready to hit the ground running.
RacoWireless, a leader in global machine-to-machine (M2M) services, is ready to launch its latest Omega DevCloud that will be able to create communication links with IoT applications in what it hopes will be a more standardized and functional manner.
According to the company, the new product aims to move beyond traditional barriers in device communication. To do so, it says it is providing a new interface that is able to understand device messages and commands, through any format and on almost all devices available. The goal is to then have that information translated into a standard data format that is common to web developers.
The overall aim of Omega DevCloud is to push the IoT concept in a new direction that aims to give it stability and more functionality on a daily basis. It will have an intitutive interface that will help users transfer commands from any device and in any format into a standard format.
"Our mission in everything that we do is to 'make it easy', and with the launch of Omega DevCloud, we are once again taking the complicated and making it easy," said John Horn, president of RacoWireless.
"We see a very fragmented space as companies and individuals from all backgrounds are clamoring to adopt connected technologies. However, it has been a challenge for many to get to market because of the lack of industry standards and high upfront development costs. With the launch of Omega DevCloud, we are changing all of that."
RacoWireless is not new to cloud-based tools. Its expertise should help it take the award-winning Omega Management Suite in this new direction to help to simplify the M2M communications that give developers more access to designing products and devices that can easily communicate with one another, a major goal of the Internet of Things concept.
It also could help reduce concerns over security within IoT devices. A Hewlett-Packard report showed that the majority of IoT devices were susceptible to hackers and much work needs to be done to ensure the privacy and security that users expect, Tech Times reports. The technology needs improving, HP said, adding in the study that it has found numerous devices with back-door security issues.
