(Telecompaper) UK-based semiconductor design company ARM has acquired Sensinode, a provider of software for the Internet of things (IoT). The privately-held company led the creation of the 6LoWPAN and CoAP standards for low-cost, low-power devices, and has been a key contributor to the IETF, ZigBee IP, ETSI and OMA standardisation efforts. ARM will continue to provide Sensinode's NanoStack and NanoService products to existing and new customers. The IoT is the next evolution of the internet where products of all types and capabilities are connected. ARM's Cortex family of processors and collaborative mbed project, together with Sensinode's NanoStack and NanoService offering, will together provide the foundation for new applications including wireless sensors, smart connected appliances, home health applications, and wearable electronics. The technology is also applicable to M2M applications using cellular connections and the new OMA Lightweight M2M standard for device management. Mbed is an industry collaboration to deliver open source hardware and software building blocks for rapid development of intelligent connected devices.
