Sensinode Ltd. is a leading company that provide software powering the Internet of Things. They recently announced their collaboration with the Telenor (News - Alert) Objects unit, which is part of the Telenor Group. Telenor Objects will provide additional support for Sensinode's NanoServices solution with its Shepherd Managed M2M Services. Besides this Sensinode is now also part of the Telenor Objects partner network.

As a cloud based solution, The Shepherd platform facilitates applications monitoring and controlling other networks of inter-connected objects. These include GPS devices, temperature sensors as well as heart rate monitors.

With Sensinode's solutions, the development and support of device networks that are centered on the IPv6 protocol and Embedded Web Services is possible. Connected objects that make use of 6LoWPAN and CoAP (the IETF-standard for efficient IPv6 and M2M web services) can easily be integrated into the Shepherd platform if needed.

In a release, Hans Christian Haugli, Chief Executive Officer of Telenor Objects, said, "Telenor Objects is committed to providing M2M services with telecom network quality. Every part of our service architecture must operate with the robustness and reliability of traditional voice and data communications, and provide a future-proof path based on concepts of open, standards-based networks."

With the Sensinode NanoService solution one is ensured of comprehensive web based services that are optimized to work within the constraints put forth by M2M deployments. What it does is provide the facility of a directory as well as semantic lookup of web resources related to every node.  It also makes way for transparent proxy services to exist between traditional large-resource Internet and constrained-resource protocols. It also provides support to eventing (asynchronous push) model which is absolutely essential to the efficacy of Embedded Web applications. With Sensinode’s NanoService Device Libraries for C, C++, Java and Android (News - Alert) centered platforms, web applications can quickly be integrated into embedded devices.

Adam Gould, Chief Executive Officer of Sensinode says, "Sensinode and Telenor Objects 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."

Some of the applications possible will be in the fields of home monitoring as well as security, eHealth, street lighting and several industrial/consumer segments that require wireless sensing along with control.
