Overview

NeoIDM is an IoT platform for managing IoT devices based on the international standard LwM2M.
It can be applied in various IoT scenario development as it is designed to easily simulate heterogeneous equipment, low-end sensors and gateways.

IoT project challenges & risks to consider

The challenge of the IoT projects is how to establish a reliable and secure connection to the backend-solution for transmitting and exchanging remote instrumentation data.

• Embedded system is running without operators.
• Deploy to remote location that is difficult to access the network.
• There is no other way to connect and interact with the device, only through the solution backend.
• Power and resource handling may be limited.
• There may be temporary, slow, or expensive network connections.
• In some cases, access may be possible using a specific protocol.

Connection of heterogeneous equipment and standard protocols

The purpose of establishing IoT services in an enterprise may vary depending on the industry, in general, the selection of wired and wireless communication methods and protocols, sensors and gateways is a critical decision.
After selecting a wireless network such as UART, Z-Wave, Zigbee or Wi-Fi, Simple data transmission requires protocols for data transmission such as MQTT, AMQP, and HTTP. For control of terminals, OMA-DM, TR-069, and LwM2M protocols are required.

LwM2M (Lightweight M2M), which was established as a standard in OMA (Open Mobile Alliance), is a typical protocol that can simultaneously perform data transmission and terminal control.
When transmitting data to the LwM2M, devices such as sensors have a limitation on the computation power and the battery, so the IETF has established the CoAP standard as a message protocol that can overcome limits of these.
OneM2M, one of the representative IoT standards organizations, has adopted CoAP and LwM2M as standards for efficiently managing multiple devices.
