Stream's technologies will be integrated into ARM's Mbed IoT Device Management Platform, giving customers the ability to manage the connectivity of devices regardless of their location or network. Stream supports physical connectivity across all major wireless protocols, ARM noted in its release, such as cellular, LoRa and Satellite.
Combining Stream Technologies with the Mbed platform "will provide organizations with a robust end-to-end IoT platform for managing, connecting, provisioning and updating devices that is easily scalable and flexible," wrote Hima Mukkamala, ARM's SVP for IoT Cloud Services, in a blog post. "This scalability is critical as we move from billions to trillions of connected devices."
Envisioning one trillion connected devices by 2035, ARM has taken several steps to build up its IoT business. In addition to bolstering the Mbed platform, the company recently announced a new processor capable of preventing physical attacks and IoT device tampering.
