Global M2M Standards Organization Forms (7/24/12)
Seven global information and communications technology (ICT) standards development organizations (SDOs) launched a new group to ensure the most efficient deployment of machine-to-machine (M2M) communications systems. The new organization, called oneM2M, will develop specifications to ensure the global functionality of M2M — allowing a range of industries to take advantage of the benefits of this emerging technology.

The Association of Radio Industries and Businesses (ARIB) and the Telecommunication Technology Committee (TTC) of Japan; the Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) of the United States; the China Communications Standards Association (CCSA); the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI); and the Telecommunications Technology Association (TTA) of Korea formally launched oneM2M. The members of the organization are devoted to developing technical specifications and reports to ensure M2M devices can successfully communicate on a global scale.

The initial goal of oneM2M will be to confront the critical need for a common M2M service layer, which can be readily embedded within various hardware and software, and relied on to connect the myriad of devices in the field with M2M application servers worldwide. With an access independent view of end-to-end services, oneM2M will also develop M2M end-to-end specifications using common use cases and architecture principles across multiple M2M applications.

OneM2M is open to participation from other interested organizations and parties, as well as cooperative efforts with other organizations. For further information visit www.onem2m.org.
