Vendors of M2M IoT Products
Advertisement
This page lists vendors of M2M IoT products and provides some basic resources. The core purpose of both IoT (Internet of Things) and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) is the same: machine-to-machine communication and enabling machines to communicate via the internet.
IoT essentially makes devices intelligent, allowing them to function as internet-enabled devices.
For this technology to succeed, all wireless compliant devices based on WLAN, Bluetooth, Zigbee, GSM, and LTE standards must support M2M/IoT protocol stacks. This is crucial for long-term interoperability between devices from different manufacturers utilizing different technologies.
The following table presents some popular M2M IoT products from leading manufacturers/vendors:
Company | M2M IoT Solution | Description |
---|---|---|
Texas Instruments (TI) | CC3100 wireless network processor based on WiFi | This “internet on a chip” supports a web server and TCP/IP stack. It supports any bit MCU over UART/SPI interface with a driver. |
TI | CC3200 IoT chipset | This wireless MCU houses an ARM Cortex M4 device that runs at 80MHz. Supported peripherals include camera, I2S, I2C, SD/MMC, UART, SPI, and a 4-channel ADC. It houses embedded TLS/SSL and TCP/IP stacks, and an HTTP server. |
Redpine Signals | Lite-Fi RS9110 IoT chipset | Supports 1 antenna along with 802.11n and STBC feature. Host interfaces such as SDIO, SPI, EBI, I2C, SPI, GPIO, and UART are supported. Supports encryption engines WEP, TKIP, and AES on hardware. |
Redpine Signals | M2M Combo RS9113 | Supports TCP/IP stack and host interfaces such as USB2.0, SDIO, SPI, and UART. It supports WLAN 11n, Bluetooth 4.0, and Zigbee on a single chip. |
