The Shepherd platform is a cloud-based solution that allows
applications to monitor and control networks of connected objects,
such as GPS devices, temperature sensors and heart rate monitors,
to give a few examples.
Sensinode's solutions enable development and support of device
networks built around the IPv6 protocol and Embedded Web Services.
With integration into Shepherd, connected objects that utilize
6LoWPAN and CoAP (the IETF-standard for efficient IPv6 and M2M web
services) can be readily integrated into the Shepherd platform.
"Telenor Objects is commited to providing M2M services with
telecom network quality," said Hans Christian Haugli, Chief
Executive Officer of Telenor Objects. "Every part of our
service architecture must operate with the robustness and
reliability of traditional voice and data communications, and
provide a future-proof path based on concepts of open,
standards-based networks."
The Sensinode NanoServiceTM solution provides end-to-end web
services optimized for the unique constraints of M2M deployments.
It provides a directory and semantic lookup of the web resources of
each node, provides transparent proxy services between the
traditional large-resource Internet and constrained-resource
protocols, and supports an eventing (asynchronous push) model that
is critical to the effectiveness of Embedded Web applications.
Sensinode provides NanoService Device Libraries for C, C++, Java
and Android based platforms, enabling rapid integration of embedded
devices with web applications.
"Sensinode and Telenor Objects have a common vision of how
connected devices will drive innovative services and the key role
of managed services in orchestrating The Internet of Things," said
Adam Gould, Chief Executive Officer of Sensinode. "Shepherd
is a superb platform for service delivery and we are very excited
about working with Telenor Objects to make NanoServices a part of
this solution architecture."
Applications in the emerging Smart Grid, home monitoring and
security, eHealth, street lighting and many other
industrial/consumer segments involving wireless sensing and control
are readily accommodated by the Telenor Objects and Sensinode
solution.
