ARM has launched the mbed IoT Starter Kit - Ethernet Edition which connects directly into IBM's Bluemix cloud platform.

The Kit is an ARM mbed-enabled development board from Freescale, powered by an ARM Cortex-M4 based processor.

It support standards such as Bluetooth Smart, 2G, 3G, LTE and CDMA cellular technologies, Thread, WiFi, and 802.15.4/6LoWPAN along with TLS/DTLS, CoAP, HTTP, MQTT and Lightweight M2M.

It also features an embed Device Server, that provides the server-side technologies to connect and manage devices. It also provides a bridge between the protocols designed for use on IoT devices and the APIs used by web developers.

All up, this makes for a secure sensor environment by ARM with cloud-based analytics, mobile and application resources from IBM.

The first products developed using the kit are expected to enter the market later this year and in the future the kit will run the new ARM mbed OS and use ARM mbed Device Server software.
