Adopting a Telco 2.0 Architecture
Moving towards a Telco 2.0 architecture:
Adopting a middleware architecture to minimise the level of dependency between applications
and the telematics devices.
Abstracting different telematics capabilities through the middleware and opening up a
unified application interface.
Utilising existing web technologies as the standards for the unified application interface
to enable thousands of web developers to start building M2M applications immediately.
Customers’ benefits of adopting a Telco 2.0 architecture for M2M applications:
An expanded eco-system that invites significantly more ISVs (Independent Software Vendors)
and device vendors due to the open architecture, thus bringing more choices of applications.
Time, effort and cost of implementation are significantly reduced as solutions developed for
one customer can be re-deployed readily for another.
Future risk is minimised as the customers are no longer dependent on one single device or
application vendor.
Investment is future-proofed as addition or change of devices does not require application
changes, or vice versa.
