Complete solutions from industry leaders like Digi and
Wind River will allow developers and OEM’s to quickly build connected products

of operations and marketing for intelligent systems at Intel.


Wind River’s value proposition is built on streamlining
and supporting the enablement of M2M services with our leading software and
middleware, complemented by our extensive hardware and software M2M partner
ecosystem,” said Roger Williams, vice president of alliances and business
development at Wind River.


The integration of the iDigi Device Cloud will allow
customers to build secure and cloud-enabled M2M solutions with Wind River
software, adding cloud-based data analytics capabilities and remote device
management to new and existing applications.


The M2M Solution Builder kit will integrate performance
and connectivity in a fanless and compact form factor. It is suited for a wide
variety of applications such as transportation, smart energy, building automation,
access control, security/surveillance, m-health, digital signage, kiosks, and
fixed/mobile asset tracking/management.
