SAN JOSE, Calif., July 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- Atmel® Corporation (NASDAQ: ATML), a global leader
in microcontroller (MCU) and touch solutions, today launched the
Atmel Internet of Things (IoT) Cloud Ecosystem Partner Program. The
new program enables developers using Atmel | SMART MCUs and Atmel
SmartConnect wireless solutions to access Atmel's market-leading
ecosystem cloud partners for device management, data analytics, and
visualization in order to experience an end-to-end IoT solution
development 'out of the box'.
With the increasing need to collect, visualize and analyze data
from IoT edge nodes and to manage the associated services, cloud
connectivity is becoming an essential element for product
development. Device management is also an important aspect of cloud
services as more devices are performing functions through remote
management, such as a connected thermostat that is programmed
remotely and sends climate information back to the user's remote
device reducing overall power consumption while providing a better
user experience.
Each cloud partner in this program not only brings a unique,
distinct feature to the IoT ecosystem for developers using Atmel
solutions but also offers production-ready software stacks ported
on Atmel wireless platforms to help accelerate time-to-market.
Developers can now easily connect to the cloud through various
software as a service (SaaS) options, based on their use-case
requirements early in the development cycle. Additionally, Atmel is
in the process of onboarding multiple cloud service partners
providing regional and vertical expertise where required.
"As a leading provider of IoT solutions, our goal is to provide
a seamless end-to-end solution for our developers," said
Reza Kazerounian, SVP and GM of
Microcontroller Business Unit, Atmel Corporation. "Launching this
highly anticipated IoT ecosystem partner program, we are now one of
the few suppliers that delivers solutions from the edge node to the
cloud, along with full software support. We are excited to team
with these unique cloud service companies and look forward to
adding many more."
With the anticipated growth of billions of devices by 2020 in
the IoT market, secure, cloud services will be a critical element
to ensure Internet accessibility connectivity of these smart
devices. The partner program ensures developers have the
opportunity to design with Atmel's pre-certified Wi-Fi, 802.15.4,
and multimode modules and Atmel | SMART MCUs to provide a seamless
end-to-end solution from the edge node to the cloud with a simple,
plug-and-play connection that works out of the box. IoT developers
can simply use any of the compatible Atmel development boards for
access to the application programming interface (API) to qualified
cloud partners.
Development Kits
To accelerate a design, several development kits are available
with access to Atmel Cloud Partners including the WINC1500-XSTK,
SAMW25-XPRO, SAMR21-XPRO and the Arduino Zero. All
Atmel boards are fully compatible with the latest version of Atmel
Studio integrated development platform.
