Udviklingsplatform til opbygning af Weigtless IoT/M2M applikationer
Den såkaldte 'Weightless Special Interest Group (SIG)', der står bag den unikkke åbne Weigtless low power WAN-teknologi, annoncerer komplet SDK-platform - som det i øvrigt er muligt at erhverve helt gratis! (in english).
The Weightless SIG today announced the launch of a complete Weightless-N development environment for low power wide area network connectivity in IoT projects. The development kits include a desktop base station with the same functionality as a commercial grade base station packaged in a non-ruggedised casing, a base station antenna, an end product module mounted on a development carrier board with external connections, a module antenna and a complete set of cabling.The SDK incorporates an ARM Cortex-M3 MCU with 128KB of flash memory. The kit also includes supporting software tools, Simplicity Studio and a GNU C Compiler (GCC), together with a complete user guide.
- Designers have been keenly anticipating the launch of the Weightless SDK - that wait is now over. We’re keen to see LPWAN projects commence rapidly so to celebrate the launch we’re making it easy to engage with Weightless technology by offering a limited number of kits available for free, explains Weightless CEO, William Webb.
Nwave Technologies is making the development kit available at cost and the Weightless SIG is paying this cost making SDKs free to developers. A refund of the membership fee is also being offered by the Weightless SIG to Associate Members that submit product for certification.
Yury Birchenko, CEO of Nwave Technologies, comments:
- We’re very excited to offer developers the opportunity to start designing their next IoT product immediately; working with the Weightless SIG to make the SDK free of charge is completely aligned with that goal. We are engaging right now with a significant, diverse and global community of developers who have eagerly awaited the launch of a Weightless development environment.
Weightless SIG Members get access to all of the open standard specifications, the test specifications, the test and certification programme and the right to sell product using the technology on a royalty free basis.
Weightless technologies offer unique open standard access to IoT connectivity IP with substantive competitive advantage over alternative proprietary LPWAN technologies.
About Weightless
The Weightless Special Interest Group (SIG) is the world’s leading IoT/M2M standards body. Its wireless IoT connectivity technologies, also called Weightless, are open standards licensed to members on a royalty free, fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) non-assert basis.
The Weightless SIG is a global members based not-for-profit organisation that exists to manage the development of wireless connectivity technology specifically for machine communications. The group provides access to a dedicated test and certification programme to verify compliance and interoperability and to license the use of the technology to members.
The Weightless SIG manages a portfolio of low power wide area network (LPWAN) connectivity technologies designed to operate in sub-1GHz wireless spectrum, including licence exempt ISM bands, and provides for lowest cost, longest battery life and best in class signal propagation performance for the Internet of Things.
Open standards minimise cost, increase choice, mitigate risk and stimulate innovation for the sustainable benefit of both developers and end users. Membership of the Weightless SIG is open to all companies.
