EDGE INTELLIGENCE
As the first ARM mbed Platform listed on mbed.org that is industry certified and deployment
ready, applications can be written and compiled quickly online using developer friendly
libraries, downloaded and hosted within the mDot. Decision making and control is distributed
to the edge, enabling data to be more actionable without the heavy lift required to optimize
RF performance, implement complex M2M middleware and security protocols needed todeploy a low touch install.
