EnOcean Alliance, Open Interconnect Consortium to Collaborate on IoT Solutions
Both organizations are working to deliver seamless, interoperable connectivity for the IoT
SAN RAMON, Calif., and PORTLAND, Ore. — The EnOcean Alliance and the Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) today announced a new liaison agreement. This collaboration joins one of the most established wireless building controls alliances with a leading Internet of Things (IoT) association. Both organizations are working to deliver seamless, interoperable connectivity for the IoT. The cooperation will result in solutions using both technologies — the EnOcean energy harvesting wireless standard and the OIC specification.
The Open Interconnect Consortium has developed a common connectivity framework that the organization said allows developers an easier and quicker time to market for their products. The OIC framework works horizontally across and between IoT vertical segments and benefits companies that want to develop products to address these markets. Using the OIC standard removes the various “island” solutions and instead provides a common solution for smart home, industrial, health care, and more.
