Wind River launches latest version of IoT software platform

Wind River®, a global leader in embedded software for intelligent interconnected systems, recently announced the launch of its latest version of Wind River Intelligent Device Platform (IDP). As a complete software development platform, this product is mainly used to build IoT (M2M, Machine-to-Machine) applications and devices that communicate with the cloud. Its easy-to-use components can be used to manage, connect and secure IoT (Internet of Things) gateways.

　　IDP (Wind River Intelligent Device Platform) is a scalable, sustainable, and highly secure solution that simplifies the development, integration, and deployment of IoT gateways. The platform is built on Wind River's standardized and fully tested leading operating systems and development tools, including device security, intelligent connectivity, and rich network options and device management capabilities.

　　“Taking advantage of the Internet of Things means integrating new and existing devices into an efficient ecosystem, and gateway connectivity is the most viable way to achieve scalability while minimizing costs,” said Santhosh Nair, general manager of Wind River’s Intelligent Systems Group. “Enterprises are looking for an integrated solution that helps them develop powerful applications while protecting their investments. We are pleased to offer this flexible software platform to meet the growing needs of a variety of market sectors, including industrial, medical, and transportation.”

　　The latest version of IDP (Intelligent Device Platform) has the following main functions:

　　Gateway security: Provides security functions to ensure the security of communication channels, data and terminal devices.

　　· Multi-application platform: Provides Lua, Java and OSGi application environments to enable development of portable, scalable and reusable applications in resource-constrained and full-featured device environments.

　　Device Connectivity:  Uses the MQTT IoT protocol for data transfer and provides native support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, and short-range wireless protocols widely used in IoT devices.

　　Remote device management:  Supports comprehensive management protocols such as TR-069 and OMA DM

　　“By integrating new technologies, such as gateways, into existing systems, companies can maximize their infrastructure investments while gaining the intelligence they need to drive next-generation design innovation,” said Kumar Balasubramania, general manager of Intel® Intelligent Solutions Business. “Technology products and solutions like the Wind River Intelligent Device Platform are critical to the end-to-end approach required to fully realize the new opportunities of the Internet of Things.”

　　Wind River Intelligent Device Platform is optimized for Intel architecture and is part of the Intel Intelligent Gateway Solution family. This packaged solution consists of pre-validated gateway hardware and software products that connect legacy systems and provide a common interface between devices and the cloud. The first solution is scheduled to be available in the first quarter of 2014.
