DATA MODEL
Smart Cities Embrace Open Wireless Networks
Smart city vendors use proprietary data formats, leading to interoperability challenges and vendor lock-in. While IoT standards like LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and Wi-SUN define the physical and messaging layers, they lack a standardized data model for smart city applications.
uCIFI® solves this issue by introducing a unified, open data model that works across both proprietary and open IoT networks. Version 2.0 already includes standardized reference objects, ensuring seamless communication between smart city devices while remaining extensible for future expansion.
KEY CAPABILITIES
The uCIFI® Data Model is designed to eliminate interoperability barriers in smart city and utility deployments. Built on OMA LwM2M standards, it ensures unified data representation, multi-network compatibility, and open access for vendors, enabling cost-effective, scalable IoT solutions.
LwM2M Format
Unified Data Representation
The uCIFI® data model follows the LwM2M format, ensuring seamless interoperability across constrained IoT networks.
Open Source
Accessible & Standardized
The uCIFI® data model is openly documented in the OMA LwM2M registry, allowing vendors to implement it freely for full interoperability.
Multi-Transport
Network-Agnostic Integration
Designed for Cellular (4G/5G, NB-IoT), LoRaWAN, and Wi-SUN, uCIFI® eliminates the need for data translators or additional software gateways.
Cost Efficient
Simplified & Scalable Adoption
The uCIFI® reference implementation is designed to be cost-effective, encouraging widespread adoption by cities and solution providers.
