this Alaska Lightweight Machine-to-Machine (LwM2M) platform Cooperate with uCIFI and TALQ standards to achieve interoperable, scalable and secure smart city solutions.
Urban Control, a leading smart city solution provider, has embedded ALASKA, the lightweight machine-to-machine (LwM2M) platform of IoTerop, a leader in IoT device management, to manage its smart city devices.
The first implementation of the platform is Urban Node 324 cellular Internet of Things Street Light Controller, Launched earlier this month.
LwM2M, uCIFI and TALQ-the importance of standards
use LwM2M enables smart cities Using uCIFI, this is the first unified data model created to solve the interoperability of IoT for smart city applications. In addition, the TALQ Alliance has also defined a globally recognized interface standard for smart city equipment networks, which means that a single CMS can configure, control, command and monitor heterogeneous smart city equipment networks. These three standards create a powerful tool that makes smart cities truly interoperable and scalable.
Restricted devices can be connected more easily, and bandwidth optimization makes the connection more efficient and lower cost. Modeled equipment includes street lights, water meters and power distribution monitors, waste management equipment, parking meters, traffic monitors, air quality monitors, smart buildings, and safety and security equipment.
Compliance with globally recognized standards is imperative because it can optimize bandwidth limitations and reduce the amount of data used by urban smart objects. In an era when network security has never been so important, device security is also a considerable benefit. ALASKA tracks the entire life cycle of a device, from activation to firmware update to decommissioning, all of which are managed remotely.
Miguel Lira, Director of Innovation and Development at Urban Control, said:
“Choosing an LwM2M interface that meets global standards is important to us because it provides our customers with game-changing benefits, which is important for this particular field.”
“By choosing IoTerop’s ALASKA, we enable our customers to reduce bandwidth usage, reduce their uptime through automated operations, and ultimately rationalize their long-term investment in urban interconnection solutions.”
“We understand that security, scalability, and interoperability are key aspects of any smart city’s long-term success. By using our ALASKA LwM2M interface, cities will be able to achieve a faster return on investment without the need to deploy heavy infrastructure. Alaska will address battery-powered solutions and equipment in the most inaccessible places, which are often costly and logistically challenging,” Hatem Oueslati, CEO of IoTerop added.
