At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain recently, Sierra Wireless presented several new features of its platform for embedded machine-to-machine (M2M) application development, including a new third-party library, an integrated debugger and a new user interface for remote device management.
Sierra Wireless AirPrime embedded modules natively support a complete embedded application framework for rapid M2M application development. The framework offers a range of readily available building blocks to accelerate the application development process, and consists of an M2M-specific operating system (Open AT), a range of software libraries and an integrated development environment. AirPrime wireless modules can also be remotely managed thanks to AirPrime Management Services, a comprehensive set of device management capabilities. In addition, to support creation of and integration to business applications, AirPrime modules can be connected to the AirVantage Services Platform through the AirVantage Ready Agent.
Sierra is continuously expanding the development platform with new features, through in-house development and now through collaboration with third-party software developers. A recent enhancement is the WirelessIDEA library developed by Aplix Corporation, which enables developers using Sierra Wireless modules to write their M2M applications in the popular Java programming language. Benefits include faster development of high-level tasks, hardware platform portability and re-use of existing code. The WirelessIDEA library works seamlessly with the Sierra Wireless Embedded Developer Studio, an Eclipse-based integrated development environment for M2M applications.
Sierra also introduced a new user interface for its AirPrime Management Services. Based on the AirVantage Services Platform, this cloud-based device management solution enables manufacturers (or their service provider customers) to remotely monitor and upgrade AirPrime devices in the field through a web portal. The new user interface includes the possibility to create dashboards in order to monitor key parameters and communication traffic of a group of devices, to configure them and to remotely send AT commands. It also performs remote upgrade campaigns through a secure patch mechanism.
