oneM2M invites industry input on M2M/IoT specifications

oneM2M, the global organisation creating standards for communications of devices and services used in machine‐to‐machine (M2M) applications and the Internet of Things (IoT), is inviting public comment on its initial Candidate Release of Technical Specifications.

Formed in 2012 by seven of the world’s preeminent standards development organisations, oneM2M membership consists of thought leaders from a broad range of industries, including industrial manufacturers and suppliers, consumer device manufacturers, component suppliers and telecommunications service providers. oneM2M specifications provide a framework to support applications and services such as the smart grid, connected car, home automation, public safety and health.

oneM2M welcomes industry input on the foundation specifications for an M2M service layer, which will enable scalable global deployment of M2M/IoT implementations and which aims at interoperability with existing standards.

The Candidate Release documents are available for public download at http://www.onem2m.org/candidate_release.

The public comment phase is scheduled to end on 1 November 2014. The updated initial Release of oneM2M specifications will then be approved by the oneM2M Technical Plenary in January 2015 for publication by the oneM2M Partner standards development organisations.

The upcoming 13th oneM2M Technical Plenary will be hosted by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) in Phoenix, Arizona, US, from 22-26 September 2014.
