| <p><b>Fifteen Products and Organizations Participate in First Interop Testing Event</b></p> |
| <br> |
| |
| <p><b>Ottawa, Canada – April 8, 2014</b> - The Eclipse Foundation and the Eclipse IoT Working Group hosted the first |
| MQTT Interop Test Day to demonstrate the success of MQTT as a standard for the Internet of Things. A total |
| of 15 MQTT-based products participated in the testing event, demonstrating the interoperability of the MQTT |
| standard for IoT. The list of participants includes ClearBlade, Sierra Wireless, HiveMQ, WSO2, Xively, |
| 2lemetry, Red Hat JBoss A-MQ, Litmus Automation, Eurotech, Software AG Universal Messaging and IBM MessageSight.</p> |
| |
| <p>The Internet of Things (IoT) is a key trend in the technology industry that is projected to be a $19 trillion industry. |
| IoT is described as the connection and communication of different sensor and actuating devices via the Internet with |
| the people, places and existing enterprise systems. For IoT to be successful, a key requirement is interoperability |
| between different solutions, devices, and enterprise server applications. MQTT is an emerging standard that aims to |
| provide a messaging protocol for IoT interoperability.</p> |
| |
| <p>MQTT was initially developed by IBM and Eurotech. In November 2012, IBM announced it would contribute the client implementation |
| of MQTT to the Eclipse Paho open source project. In March 2013, IBM, Eurotech, and others began the standardization process |
| of MQTT within the OASIS standards group. It is expected that the standardization process will be completed by September 2014, |
| resulting in the publication of the MQTT 3.1.1 specification.</p> |
| <p>The MQTT Interop Test day was hosted by the Eclipse IoT Working Group, an open source community dedicated to the development of |
| open source IoT technology. Today, Eclipse IoT hosts 14 different open source projects focused on IoT, including Eclipse Paho |
| that provides MQTT client implementations and Eclipse Mosquito that provides an MQTT broker implementation.</p> |
| |
| <p>At the Test Day, products were matched with other products and put through a predefined set of tests. The tests measured the |
| conformance to the draft MQTT specification and the degree of interoperability with other products. Overall, more than 50% of |
| the test pairs were considered successful. At this stage of the standardization process, this demonstrates a good level of |
| interoperability between MQTT implementations and points to the ease of creating interoperable IoT solutions based on MQTT. |
| It is expected that once the final OASIS specification is approved in the Fall 2014 the level of interoperability will significantly improve.</p> |
| |
| <p>A detailed report, including a full list of participants and test plans, is <a href="http://iot.eclipse.org/documents/2014-04-08-MQTT-Interop-test-day-report.html">now available</a>. A future MQTT Test Day will be planned for the Fall 2014.</p> |

| <h3>Quotes from Participants</h3> |
| |
| <p><b>2lementry</b><br> |
| "As a company that relies on interoperability with MQTT, the Eclipse Interop Test Day provided a great way to validate our services with other clients," |
| said Chris Chiappone, CTO of 2lemetry. "Eclipse also did a great job creating a conformance test suite prior to the event, which helped us |
| successfully pre-test client and server compliance."</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Xively</b><br> |
| "We believe that standardization and interoperability are critical to accelerating innovation in today's early-stage Internet of Things market," |
| said Mario Finocchiaro, Director of Xively Business Development for LogMeIn. "The inaugural MQTT interoperability event proved to be a great |
| opportunity for collaboration between emerging IoT leaders, while showing promise for encouraging and empowering broader commercial IoT adoption. |
| Congratulations to Eclipse for bringing it all together."</p> |
| |
| <p><b>ClearBlade</b><br> |
| "The MQTT Interop Day was extremely valuable in bringing together both specification and implementation leaders, and reconfirming our objectives as a |
| unified community. The ClearBlade enterprise platform was built on the foundation and belief that strong open standards and interoperation create |
| enterprise value, and that is achieved with this level of industry collaboration."</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Red Hat</b><br> |
| "The Internet-of-Things (IoT) will require open standards to make it a reality. That is why Red Hat JBoss A-MQ, an open source enterprise message broker, |
| supports open protocol standards such as AMQP 1.0 and MQTT. Red Hat has demonstrated its commitment to the MQTT standard by successfully taking part |
| in the MQTT Interoperability Test Day at EclipseCon this year. JBoss A-MQ supports MQTT across TCP/TLS and WebSockets, and allows for an MQTT client |
| to interoperate with other clients connected to JBoss A-MQ, regardless of the protocol that client is using."<br> |
| - Rob Davies, director of software engineering, Red Hat</p> |
| |
| <p><b>Eurotech</b><br> |
| "It has been really exciting to see so many companies investing in high quality MQTT implementations. The interoperability test has been a huge success and |
| is a testament to how quickly the community is growing around this IoT protocol. We're looking forward to completing the MQTT standardization process |
| within the OASIS standards body and continuing the comprehensive activities within the IoT Working Group of the Eclipse Foundation. With Eurotech there |
| at the very beginning of the protocol definition, it’s gratifying to see acceptance building so quickly now as MQTT helps to enable the Internet of Things."<br> |
| - Wes Johnson, Director, Software for Eurotech</p> |
| |
| <p><b>IBM</b><br> |
| "The mix of MQTT technologies represented, ranging from open source to commercial, and the successes achieved at the event demonstrate the vibrancy of the MQTT |
| ecosystem and means we will be well positioned as we move toward a ratified standard. Interoperability of technology in this space is vital for the Internet |
| of Things ecosystem."<br> |
| - Dave Locke, IBM senior inventor and co-lead of the Eclipse Paho project</p> |
