oneM2M publishes Release 3

oneM2M, the IoT interoperability standard, today announced the publication of Release 3, its third set of specifications.
On the menu: dramatically enhanced 3GPP interworking – in particular cellular IoT – and new capabilities to unlock value in industrial and smart home applications.
3GPP, the world’s global standards-setting organisation for cellular wireless, has been adding IoT-centric features, including capabilities to avoid network congestion, use networks more effectively, enhance security and, crucially, enable IoT devices to manage power resources efficiently.
oneM2M’sRelease 3 enables seamless interworking with these underlying 3GPP network services, in particular NB-IoT and LTE-M, via the 3GPP Service Capability Exposure Function (SCEF). The combination of oneM2M’s service layer and 3GPP’s underlying network represent a significant move forward for operators in deploying IoT capabilities.
The growing momentum behind LPWAN solutions, including NB-IoT and LTE-M, is expected to fuel large volumes of low price-point connected devices.
Their commercial success will depend on efficient approaches for gathering and sharing IoT data, both at scale and across heterogeneous device populations.
By enabling interworking with LPWAN technologies from 3GPP, Release 3 further supports operators in deploying cellular IoT services and tapping into new revenue opportunities higher up the value chain.
“The ultimate goal of oneM2M is to open up the IoT ecosystem and improve the business case for players looking to launch services,” said Omar Elloumi, of Nokia, Technical Plenary Chair at oneM2M. “Release 3 does exactly this by creating an abstraction layer that simplifies the exchange of cross-silo data. Furthermore, by supporting a set of 3GPP-defined APIs, Release 3 opens up new revenue streams for mobile operators while lowering the cost of deployments.”
