The Niagara Vision -circa 1998

•The shrinking cost and increasing capabilities of

microprocessors has led to the rapid proliferation of

smart devices in buildings, machines, homes, cars, and

virtually every other aspect of our society. The growth

of Internet usage and capabilities makes large-scale

interconnectivity of heterogeneous devices

economically possible.

•“If these devices can be connected and remotely

controlled in a cost-effective m

anner, they can

provide dramatic new services and capabilities”

Wireless

•Wireless communications is essential to

lowering the costs of automation and

expanding the market.

–Cellular modems simplify enterprise connectivity and

reduce communication costs

–WiFi elim

inates the need for Ethernet cabling

–Low power, 802.15.4 networks such as Zigbee and

6LowPAN will enable suppliers to create new

generations of wireless smart devices

Futu

re

“One of the m

ost significant product releases of 2008 is

most likely to be the Sedona Framework from Tridium Inc.

If it delivers what it promises, Sedona’s open-source

approach and its focus on small data loads could satisfy the

industry’s need for a common, non-proprietary development

framework for industrial applications.”

M2M Magazine
