Zebra Technologies and semiconductor intellectual property supplier ARM have signed a commercial licensing agreement for Zebra to use ARM’s CoAP and other ARM mbed technologies within its Zatar platform.
Zatar, Zebra’s Internet of Things (IoT) platform, is a cloud-based, multi-sensor integration platform for connecting legacy and smart devices to the Internet and enabling third party applications to easily work with the devices over an open source application programming interface.
The collaboration aims to redefine the way devices and things connect to the Internet using technology standards, a trend that is quickly becoming part of the enterprise.
“Combining Zebra’s Zatar IoT platform with mbed IoT device technology will help redefine the way devices connect to the Internet by facilitating efficient and secure communications,” said Phil Gerskovich, senior VP of new growth platforms at Zebra Technologies.
