JULY EDITION OF CONNECTED |
July 2013 |
| Beecham Research’s report, ‘Application Intelligence & Connected Devices: Harnessing The Value’, identifies new trends with the rise of an M2M ecosystem converging with big data and cloud computing. New trends include application intelligence and security for connected devices at the network edge.
The report predicts that more real time decision making, data analysis and data storage will be required at the network edge, including other aspects such as device security and data protection. With further complementary data processing required at the data center for wider sharing, the network traffic is expected to increase substantially beyond current levels.

Tech TipTech Tip: Radiocrafts TinyMesh TinyMesh is a powerful multi-hop mesh protocol with bidirectional wireless communication for control and monitoring of individual nodes. The network data packages are 120 byte. The protocol is transparent and may carry application layers like for instance Wireless M-Bus (European norm), MODBUS, DLMS/COSEM and KNX RF. To understand how TinyMesh works as a powerful tool for remote management, and for a quick start with TinyMesh view the following tutorials here. 1. Introduction to TinyMesh part 1 |
