Sierra Wireless and L&T Technology are teaming up to establish a Legato Lab, designed to support the development of IoT applications with the Sierra Wireless’ Legato embedded application platform. The two companies will jointly market their respective products and services to customers in the automotive, transportation, and industrial markets.

The Legato platform is an open-source embedded platform built on Linux and designed to simplify the development and scalability of IoT applications.

Legato is customizable with built-in M2M features which include:

- Free open source packages: Validated by the Linux Foundation that include BusyBox, OpenSSL, DHCP, PPP, and OpenSSH

- Long-term supported Linux kernel (LTSI): Hosted by the Linux Foundation and maintained by the embedded systems industry

- Board support package (BSP): Enables hardware interfaces and power management, validated on AirPrime WP and AR smart modules

The platform offers flexibility to simplify application-level development through: 

- Eclipse-based integrated development environment (IDE): Extensible and familiar toolset with built-in API awareness
