Altair first to complete interoperability testing for Lightweight M2M

Supporting Open Mobile Alliance Protocol, Altair’s CAT-1 Chipset Simplifies Development of Low-Cost M2M Applications.

Altair Semiconductor today announced that its ALT1160 LTE CAT-1 Chipset has successfully completed interoperability testing with the Open Mobile Alliance’s Lightweight M2M (LwM2M) protocol.

The test took place at the recent OMA TestFest, where vendors had the opportunity to test the stability of their LwM2M implementations in a multi-vendor environment, while helping to ensure the quality of OMA specifications.

Joaquin Prado, Director of Technical Programs at OMA, said:

“The motivation of Lightweight M2M is to develop a fast, deployable client-server specification to provide machine to machine service. Our event attracted the world’s leading M2M players, and Altair distinguished itself by completing interoperability testing with all participating server vendors.”

“We congratulate Altair on this achievement and look forward to continuing the advancement of the LwM2M standard.”

Altair’s LwM2M implementation provides a secure and standards-compliant device management solution to simplify the development of M2M applications. Its intuitive API enables easy customization without the need for extensive knowledge of M2M protocols. In addition, Altair’s highly efficient implementation offers out-of-the-box cloud support, and more than 10 years of battery life, for low-cost and low-power devices.

“We’re proud to be the first LTE chipset provider to reach this level of interoperability,” said Eran Eshed, Co-founder and VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for Altair.

“Our achievement with OMA highlights the maturity of Altair’s LwM2M-enabled IoT solutions, and underscores our ability to provide the industry’s most advanced connectivity solutions.”

At TestFest, Altair’s chipset interoperated successfully with all participating LwM2M Servers, including Ericsson, Bosch Software Innovations, Nokia, ETRI, IOTEROP and AVSystem, and passed all tests as defined by OMA.
