Designed to be utilized as both a public and private cloud.

Arm announced expanded Arm Mbed IoT device platform capabilities.

With new Mbed cloud capabilities, enterprises can now manage devices in-house and connect low-performance devices to the IoT. Additionally, the latest Mbed OS supports design modules and NB-IoT.

Forward-thinking companies are leveraging IoT to explore new methods of data collection and analysis, using the data to gain insights and improve operational efficiency, quality, and consumer experience. However, to ensure that this simple exploration leads to actual implementation, superior IoT device security, connectivity, and provisioning are required in the cloud and data centers.

Accelerating the adoption of IoT capabilities to fully harness the potential of data was a key topic at the recently held global events, the Mobile World Congress (MWC) and the Embedded World (EW) trade show. Dipesh Patel, Head of Arm’s IoT Services Group, stated, “Based on the Mbed cloud capabilities showcased by Arm’s IoT Group, Arm will position itself at the center of the relevant technology trends.”

While companies have been able to manage an increasing number of IoT connected devices through cloud services, some businesses are still unable to connect to the public cloud due to security and regulatory issues. To address this, Mbed Cloud was designed to be utilized as both a public and a private cloud.

Arm extends the capabilities of Mbed Cloud to enable customers to operate private clouds within on-premises data centers protected by corporate firewalls. This is a highly flexible solution that allows for seamless integration not only with existing hardware but also with third-party infrastructure services (IaaS).

Millions of legacy devices requiring IoT connectivity lack computing resources, preventing them from supporting some embedded OS functions, such as IP communication or modern IoT security features. Arm’s Mbed cloud is set to provide new capabilities to address this issue. Legacy and low-performance devices can now utilize a common IoT protocol stack to enable single-function applications—such as sensors in pallets, blood glucose meters, and fluid valves—to send and receive data and perform simple operations.

Arm unveiled its latest Mbed OS at MWC. It supports recently trending cellular-based low-power wide-area NB-IoT standards, such as CAT-NB1 and CAT-M1, enabling devices to connect to the IoT anywhere. The latest Mbed OS is set to be applied to modules for IoT device designers who need to support popular IoT communication protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi, and LoRa.
