Sensinode, a Scandinavian software vendor, has teamed up with Telenor (News - Alert) Objects. The latter will add support for Sensinode’s NanoServices solution in its Shepherd managed M2M services offer. Additionally, Sensinode has joined the Telenor Objects partner network.

The Shepherd platform is a cloud-based solution that allows applications to monitor and control networks of connected objects, such as GPS devices, temperature sensors, heart rate monitors, etc. Sensinode’s solutions enable development and support of device networks built around the IPv6 protocol and Embedded Web Services.

With integration into Shepherd, connected objects that utilize 6LoWPAN and CoAP (the IETF-standard for efficient IPv6 and M2M web services) can be readily integrated into the Shepherd platform. See “Sensinode Unveils NanoServices Strategy“ for an explanation of these terms.

Sensinode’s solution provides end-to-end Web services optimized for the constraints of M2M deployments. It provides a directory and semantic lookup of the Web resources of each node, provides transparent proxy services between the traditional large-resource Internet and constrained-resource protocols, and supports an eventing (asynchronous push) model that is critical to the effectiveness of Embedded Web applications.

Adam Gould, CEO at Sensinode said, “The two companies have a common vision of how connected devices will drive innovative services and the key role of managed services in orchestrating The Internet of Things. Shepherd is a superb platform for service delivery and we are very excited about working with Telenor Objects to make NanoServices a part of this solution architecture.”
