Standards Group Formed to Enable Internet of Things Growth
Published on:
Weightless, a UK based organisation delivering royalty-free open standards to enable the Internet of Things, today announced a new Special Interest Group (SIG) to accelerate the adoption of "Weightless" as a wireless wide area standard for machine to machine (M2M) short to mid-range communications.
ARM, Cable & Wireless Worldwide, CSR and Neul have today formally signed the 'SIG Promoter Agreement' which details how they will back Weightless's mission to establish a new standard and encourage its adoption worldwide.
The Weightless standard this group will define is on track for completion in early 2013.
Weightless argues that a standard designed specifically for short to mid-range machine communications within white space is needed. Weightless technology has been optimised for this specific scenario and is delivered as a royalty-free open standard.
This means a common set of standards that deliver the key requirements for M2M communications, including a chipset cost under $2, a range of up to 10km and a battery life of 10 years.
