Qualcomm has announced that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Atheros, is expanding its IoE platform with the addition of six new ecosystem providers whose distinct client software for cloud services are now integrated within the QCA4002 WiFi solution and its accompanying development platform. The addition of these providers further simplifies the development of devices that use WiFi to connect to the IoE by increasing cloud service flexibility and making these solutions available in a broader global reach.

The new providers include Ayla Networks, Exosite, Kii, Proximetry, Temboo and Xively by LogMeIn. These join 2lemetry, an Amazon company who was previously announced as a cloud ecosystem provider integrated with the QCA4002. 2lemetry provides cloud connect services through its platform, ThingFabric. This includes support for secure socket layer connections to provide secure communication between device and cloud.

Each of these providers has committed to supporting Qualcomm Atheros’ WiFi-based intelligent connectivity platform and offers embedded client integration, secure communication, back-end analytics and user interface, mobile and cloud applications.

“We keenly understand the importance of diverse ecosystem solutions for cloud-based services in the expanding IoE businesses and segments,” said Joseph Bousaba, Senior Director, Product Management, Qualcomm Atheros. “By integrating these key providers’ software directly into our connectivity solutions, we’re enabling customers to quickly deploy solutions with the most suitable cloud provider for their industry segment.”
