IPSO Alliance Focuses on How to Use IoT Open Standards
August 2014 by Marc Jacob
The Internet Protocol for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance has broadened its Internet of Things (IoT) standards vision to include education on the proper use of IP protocols to create end-to-end solutions for the IoT. This change was adopted to advance the promotion of open standards using current and emerging IP technologies within the IoT community.
IPSO Alliance members will speak about IoT open standards at a number of upcoming shows, including:
CEDIA Expo, Denver, CO (September)
Designers of Things, San Francisco, CA (September)
Super Mobility Week, Las Vegas, NV (September)
ARMTechCon, Santa Clara, CA (October)
IPSO will also support the White House Smart America Challenge "local editions" in Detroit and Austin as well as the recently announced NIST Global Cities Challenge.
IPSO will publish two documents outlining open standards for interoperability between objects. The first defines a simple and extensible set of smart objects that can be used to build communication between devices used in smart energy, home automation and multiple other functions. The second outlines a conceptually simple architecture that can be used to build interoperable machine-to-machine (M2M) and IoT applications.
