Sierra Wireless Inc. (SWIR, SW.TO), a Canadian developer of wireless technologies and solutions, Monday introduced the Legato platform. It is an open source embedded platform built on Linux and designed to simplify the development of machine-to-machine applications from the device to the cloud.
The embedded platform tightly integrates Wind River Linux, a commercial-grade Linux distribution with a rich set of capabilities based on the latest open source technologies, with an M2M application framework and feature-rich tools, the company noted.
Philippe Guillemette, Chief Technology Officer for Sierra Wireless, said, "In building Legato, our aim is to provide a complete device-to-cloud solution for developers, along with tools, support, and a development community to help streamline these efforts and give embedded M2M projects a head start."
