“The Eclipse Foundation is a globally recognised organisation which helps a wide range of industries to develop solutions that meet the needs of modern society. With its open source community, the Eclipse foundation has paved the way for many innovations, including M2M solutions and services such as M2M to Cloud,” says Eric Schneider, Chairman of the M2M Alliance. “By joining the Eclipse Foundation, we enable our members to find the right platforms, solutions and partners for their projects.”

The M2M Alliance provides an important voice to the M2M Industry. We look forward to collaborating with them in the promotion and development of open source solutions for the M2M industry”.
