Enabling manufacturers to connect with the IoT more easily and rapidly, Texas Instruments has announced a third party ecosystem of Internet of Things (IoT) cloud service providers. Manufacturers need proven hardware, software and an easy way to connect to the cloud, manage services and capitalise on the growing IoT market. The cloud ecosystem allows TI customers to find the best cloud service provider to meet their individual needs and get the most out of their TI-based IoT solutions.

The first members of the ecosystem include 2lemetry, ARM, Arrayent, Exosite, IBM, LogMeIn, Spark, and Thingsquare. Each member has demonstrated its cloud service offering on one or more of TI’s wireless connectivity, microcontroller and processor solutions for a wide-range of IoT applications spanning industrial, home automation, health and fitness, automotive and more.

Members of the TI IoT cloud ecosystem offer services to meet the growing needs of the IoT including integration of data into business processes, data analytics, customisable user portals and smart phone apps, and compatibility with multiple wireless technologies. The TI IoT cloud ecosystem is open to cloud service providers with a differentiated service offering and value-added services running on one of TI’s IoT solutions.

Adam Gould, Vice President, IOTBU, ARM, commented: “At ARM, we believe that the Internet of Things will transform every business model on the planet. TI’s cloud ecosystem will accelerate that transformation with ARM Sensinode software securely connecting billions of gateways and sensors to cloud platforms.”

"IBM is helping customers recognise the significant potential of interconnected people, places and objects. Expanding our cloud-based Internet of Things services with TI is a natural extension of both companies’ focus on this exponentially growing area,” comments Michael Curry, Vice President, WebSphere Software, IBM.
