11. HoweverâŚ
The market is fragmented
â Hardware, software, protocolsâŚ
all different, independent
â Lack of integrationâŚ
between devices, to enterprise systems
M2M development is complex
â Many different skills requiredâŚ
Hardware, Embedded, IT network, Telecom, web
â No common architectural guidelines
Current options are closed
â Monolithic solutionsâŚ
device specific, app specific, market specific
â Proprietary SDKs, protocols, potential vendor lock-in

17. MQTT in a Nutshell
â MQTT == MQ Telemetry Transport
â In a nutshell
âA light weight event and message oriented
protocol allowing devices to asynchronously
communicate efficiently across constrained
networks to remote systemsâ
18. MQTT - Publish Subscribe Messaging
A Publish Subscribe messaging protocol allowing a message to be published once and multiple consumers
(applications / devices) to receive the message providing decoupling between the producer and consumer(s)
A producer sends (publishes) a message (publication) on a topic (subject)
A consumer subscribes (makes a subscription) for messages on a topic (subject)
A message server / broker matches publications to subscriptions
⢠If no matches the message is discarded
⢠If one or more matches the message is delivered to each matching subscriber/consumer
19. Benefits of MQTT verses HTTP
â Push delivery of messages / data / events
â MQTT â low latency push delivery of messages from client to server and server to client
⢠Helps bring an event oriented architecture to the web
â HTTP â push from client to server but poll from server to client
⢠Efficient use of network
â For an M2M project the number of bytes with MQTT was 137130 bytes per device per month with
HTTP the number of bytes was 801000 bytes per device per month
⢠Reliable delivery over fragile network
â MQTT will deliver message to QOS even across connection breaks
⢠Decoupling and publish subscribe â one to many delivery

20. M3DA Layered Architecture
Application Layer â M3DA::Message
â Specify access to the tree-oriented data
model
Transport Layer â M3DA::Envelope
â Enables authentication, encryption,
compression, âŚ
Serialization Layer â Bysant
â Provides an efficient binary serialization
based on contextual information
