The Samsung Electronics, Intel have teamed up with Atmel, Broadcom, Dell and
Wind River to form a group with to improve interoperability and to define the
connectivity requirements for the billions of devices that will make up the
Internet of Things (IoT), reports ITRealms.
Also gathered by ITRealms,
would be known as Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) with the aims to redefine
connection standards that will ensure interoperability of devices including Personal Computers (PCs), smartphones, wearables and industrial appliances.
A press statement endorsed by Samsung Electronics showed
that "The OIC is focused on defining a common communications framework
based on industry-standard technologies to wirelessly connect and intelligently
manage the flow of information among personal computing and emerging IoT
devices, regardless of form factor, operating system or service provider."
Further, ITRealms
gathered that some of the outcome could include the specifications capable of making
it simple to remotely control and receive notifications from smart home
appliances or enterprise devices using securely provisioned smartphones,
tablets or PCs. Possible consumer solutions include the ability to remotely
control household systems to save money and conserve energy
ITRealms recalls
that member companies will contribute software and engineering resources to the
development of a protocol specification, open source implementation, and a
certification programme, all with a view of accelerating the development of the
Internet of Things (IoT).
