OCF India Chapter: India’s IoT market is ready for standardization norms
- High demand from the Industries & consumer sector
- 7 bn connection by 2020 with $15 bn
- Lacks standard operability norms
The development and adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) in India is rapidly growing, generating high demand from industrial and consumer sectors. NASSCOM predicts that there will be 2.7 billion connected devices by 2020, leading to an economic impact of up to $15 billion. It is estimated that connected devices will touch five billion by 2022, where the connected devices will be playing a key role in industrial digitization and digital transformation…. [Read More]
Leading Technology Alliances Unite Behind IP as Secure Backbone for Building Automation
BRUSSELS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BACnet International, KNX Association, OCF, Thread Group and the Zigbee Alliance today announced they are working together to better align commercial buildings with users’ connectivity needs and to improve the integration of smart building products. The organisations behind the leading technology standards in the field of building automation are collaborating on this new initiative: “IP Building and Lighting Standards” (IP-BLiS). Together they are promoting a secure multi-standard IP-based infrastructure as a backbone in building automation to replace the inefficient, still-widespread use of siloed solutions. For this purpose, the operation of leading technology standards is to be harmonised, the fragmentation in smart building connectivity reduced and a broad acceptance of coexistent solutions promoted.
Silo solutions as costly barriers
Currently, there is no automation technology available that covers all of the use-cases required to fully automate a commercial building. From elevators and energy management, to lighting, water supply and air conditioning, to access control and surveillance systems: there are countless application scenarios for technologies in smart buildings. However, some individual building systems still use a wide variety of proprietary solutions that often require separate hardware-based gateways and infrastructures. This fragmentation results in higher costs for planning, installation, maintenance and administration of smart building projects. In addition, synergistic opportunities over the long-term remain unused.
OCF Developer Kit: Develop a Secure IoT Device in 15 Minutes
By Clarke Stevens, Principal Architect at Shaw Communications
The Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) is dedicated to supplying both its members and developers with a variety of development tools and resources curated by experts. These assets help enable simple, step-by-step development of connected products, and include the required security, reliability and interoperability for IoT connectivity.
One of these development tools includes the OCF’s Developer Kit, part of the OCF’s Developer Program. It helps developers get started with IoT development, allowing them to get a real device working on real hardware controlled by their smartphone using state-of-the-art security in a matter of minutes. The Kit consists of a hardware board setup and programming tools, using IoTivity APIs that interact with sensor and actuator devices. These sensors and actuator devices are controllable from a smartphone application called Onboarding Tool and Generic Client (OTGC).
