Why is Rapid Prototyping Important for IoT

© 2017, M2M Alliance e. V.15.05.2017 4

►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
