The mbed Team has been busy the last few weeks getting ready for Embedded World (EW) in Nuremberg, Germany and now we are looking forward to Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain this coming week. There has been much to celebrate from the collaboration with IBM to announce the IoT Starter Kit – Ethernet Edition to the ARM mbed Device Server 2.3 release.

At EW we announced the IoT Starter Kit – Ethernet Edition that was developed jointly with IBM. This kit is intended to help developers build devices that connect to the IBM cloud (IBM BlueMix platform) and further build out the ecosystem of IoT. Additionally, at EW we showcased two demos; our ARM mbed Bluetooth Low Energy solutions and the Thread stack running with mbed OS. Check out the videos below to see the demos in action.

At MWC this coming week, we will be featuring our mbed Device Server. One will be showing our Smart City demo which was developed with wot.io, MultiTech and Stream Technologies. In this demo you will see a real life scenario where delivery vehicles are tracked through London and augmented with real-time traffic information provided by London Open Data and traffic cameras. Not to be missed, we will be measuring many live statistics from the ARM booth (temperature, average height of attendees, noise levels, etc.) to showcase how mbed enabled devices can collect live data from the edge of a network and feed it to an ARM powered server running the mbed Device Server. Be sure to stop by our stand (Hall 6, Stand 6C10) to see both demos in action, if at MWC.

Last by certainly not least, we have released the ARM mbed Device Server 2.3. This release adds more key functionality to allow us to better serve the needs of mbed Device Server users. To find out more, see Neil Jackson’s blog post here.
