OpenDOF is an IOT Framework
The OpenDOF Project is an organization dedicated to the promotion of device networking technology for IoT–an IOT Framework.
The acronym DOF (Distributed Object Framework) refers to a technology that allows many different products, using many different standards, to work together and share information effortlessly across many different networks (e.g., LAN, WAN, Intranet, Internet—any type of network or mesh). At its core, DOF technology was designed to network embedded devices, whether simple or complex. However, to support advanced networking functions for those devices, DOF technology has also evolved into a server technology, appropriate for services that expand the functionality of networked devices, whether those services reside on your own physical servers, or you are taking advantage of advanced cloud technology, such as Amazon Web Services. Ultimately, DOF technology has the flexibility to enhance all products, from the simplest resource-constrained device to the most powerful of computer networks.

Cloud Connectivity in Minutes
The OpenDOF Iot Router is an example of what can be done quickly using OpenDOF. The router itself is a one-click AMI that is available with a 30-day free trial and is meant for training and tutorials. Each instance provides a secure cloud “router” that will work with any of the OpenDOF Project libraries and tools.

OpenDOF at the AllSeen Alliance Summit 2015
Panasonic sponsored and participated in the AllSeen Alliance Summit 2015 in Seattle. The booth focused on two projects, both of which relate to the OpenDOF Project. The first is the Panasonic Distributed Testing Framework, an open source project on GitHub, which the project uses for automated testing. The second is the Interface Repository Project, which is part of the OpenDOF Project itself. Bryant Eastham of Panasonic presented on the gateway connector and used the OpenDOF Project as an example – slides are available here. #AllSeenSummit @opendof
