Redpine Signals has launched what it claims is the world's first comprehensive IoT platform for device makers. The WyzBee platform includes a hardware platform, development environment and cloud software and services framework.
The WyzBee IoT platform is said to reduce the time it takes to develop and bring to market IoT devices by providing integrated sensing, computing, communicating, power management and cloud and application support. Redpine Signals is also providing sensor, audio, GPS and GSM/GPRS profiles to speed IoT device development.
Venkat Mattela, chief executive officer of Redpine Signals, said: "Redpine Signals doesn't just want to enable the IoT, we want to unify the IoT maker process from product development to the customised cloud and application software."
The WyzBee board is said to include Redpine's Wireless Secure MCU with multi-protocol wireless module providing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and ZigBee connectivity, six-axis inertial sensors, an infrared receiver, a debug port, push-buttons, LEDs, USB ports, and WyzBee THING expansion connector. The WiSeMCU module runs an embedded TCP/IP networking stack with SSL/TLS/HTTPS security, as well as Wi-Fi, BT 4.1, and ZigBee stacks.
The WyzBee THING expansion headers contain other devices, with a number of peripherals including audio, GSM, GPS, capacitive touch display, rechargeable battery, and additional sensors. Application development is supported with a choice of development environments, including IAR, Keil, and CoIDE.
The platform is supported by the WyzBee IoT Cloud, a Redpine hosted cloud framework that offers customisable connectivity, analytics, and user interfaces. The RS9113 chipset integrates PUF-based hardware security block that provides for individual device entities.
A debug tool, WyzBee Workbench, is also integrated into the development environment and provides a debug analysis of data traffic between the device and the cloud.
