Why is Rapid Prototyping Important for IoT

© 2017, M2M Alliance e. V.05.06.2017 5

► In the M2M era▪ M2M projects were designed to solve a technical issue▪ Write a spec, design hardware, build hardware, test hardware, …..▪ Takes too long, costs too much money, risk to fail

► In the IOT era▪ Solve a business issue or create new business▪ Develop a business idea, develop software, use existing elements▪ Be quick, try and error, dismiss start again, collaborate, consider fail,

limited budget

► IOT is faster, more flexible, more creative and requires different tools

What is IoT Open Source Hardware?

► Design published in the public domain (including source files)► Business-friendly Open Source License (e.g. “CC attribution”)

▪ Freely available to share, copy and modify▪ Freely available to use for building products for any purpose,

including commercial, with no restrictions▪ Non-revocable license

► IoT needs: highly expandable (native connectors to expand it without needing to modify the design)

Goals► Encourage copies, new hardware designs, business► Build a developer community & a business ecosystem

Open Source Hardware Choice
