Why do we needRemote Device Management?

The devices are often deployed inremote or difficult to access locations

Must be easy to update device softwarefor new features and bug fixes

Toyota

Recall 1.9 million Prius hybrids

Because of a software fault that may cause the vehicle to slow

down suddenly

Over-­the-­Air software update to its Model S vehicles

To fix an overheating issue

Tesla

Security – you need to be able update device firmware

What challenges do we face?

Challenges – Powering IoT devices and sensors

In many industrial situations the sensors/devices will be powered from batteries that require a lifetime of 5 -­ 10 years⁃ You do not want to flatten the battery when performing a firmware upgrade!

Device Management Standards

IoT Remote Device Management StandardsHistorically there has been no industry standard for the remote management of M2M/IoT devices

This contrasts with industry standards available that cater for the remote management requirements of:

§ Fixed network broadband DSL routers (TR-­69)§ Enterprise IP networks (SNMP)§ Mobile phones (OMA DM)

Leading Industry Forum the Open Mobile Alliance is developing a new industry standard for IoT constrained devices:
