Let's Connect Our World
An Operating System for Things
In a relatively short period of time, the Internet has changed our lives with the ubiquity of instant information. Combine this with the recent advances in secure edge computing and wireless communications, while relentlessly being driven by Moore's law, the era of Connected Things is upon us.IoT Solutions, whether they are in the utility, automotive, healthcare, agriculture, industrial automation, smart homes, or smart city industries, all require reliable secure communications, and a common IoT Service Layer for remote network, device and application security, registration, discovery, management, and control services.
Our flagship product, the Aether Operating System (AOS), is a distributed operating system based on Linux and other open-source software, designed specifically to enable open and secure embedded edge computing and the internetworking of Things.
Smart Grids
Given our team's heritage in the utility smart metering domain, we have included in AOS an open suite of RESTful Metering Service APIs that provide developers with the ability to directly interact with electricity, water, and gas meters, without needing to understand and support the multitude of metering protocol implementations in the market today.Our products have been deployed in mission critical, large-scale, AMI smart meter networks for over a decade, meeting our customers' daily reporting metrics of over 99% and delivering over 3 Billion meter reads daily. Our products are used today in Australia, New Zealand, and North America on the AT&T, Spark, Telstra, and Verizon 5G networks.
Machine-to-Machine Applications
At the core of AOS is its Common Service Entity middleware, which complies with the oneM2M Common Service Layer (CSE) specifications that define an open IoT Service Layer (i.e., a vendor-independent middleware between the application and network). AOS is deployed in both the cloud and on open computing and communications cards for Things.Leveraging the oneM2M.org and OMA SpecWorks specifications, AOS provides IoT application developers with an open and extensible, oneM2M IoT Service function layer and integrated Security framework that allow for the rapid development and deployment of secure embedded edge-based IoT applications.
The RESTful AOS Metering Service APIs provide applications with secure access to instantaneous and cumulative meter reads and events, voltage and current waveform streams, remote service connect/disconnect, and local demand response switch control. In addition, the APIs include advanced energy functions like creating a blockchain smart contract for a trade transaction in a distributed ledger energy market.
