A full IP device-to-cloud connection
Interoperable
The IoT Acceleration platform uses the LwM2M protocol to communicate with
the Thread networks that run the 6LoWPAN solution. Your application can
collect data and manage any edge devices compliant to the protocol.
Sierra Wireless is driving the Eclipse Foundation projects aiming to
standardize the industrial implementation of the LwM2M protocol – to promote
the interoperability of the Internet of Things.
Secure
The platform assures data security with the end-to-end connection from device
to the application in the cloud, and mutual authentication at the device level.
Simple
The platform offers managed mobile connectivity and cloud services you need
to connect and manage your remote devices, and get your
new IoT services to market faster.
