Open Interconnect Consortium Partners With Industrial Internet
Both groups will work together to drive technical requirements for the industrial Internet of Things.
The Open Interconnect Consortium, Inc. (OIC) announced a strategic liaison agreement with the Industrial Internet Consortium® (IIC) to share information that will help streamline interoperability for the Internet of Things (IoT). This technical collaborative between the IoT consortiums will help to accelerate the delivery of an industrial grade IoT architectural framework.
With 4.9 billion connected devices to be in use in 2015, the need to create industry standardizations in IoT is increasing rapidly. Through this formal liaison, the Industrial Internet Consortium will share its use cases and architectural requirements focused on the industrial market. In turn, OIC will ensure that its specification and associated open source project (IoTivity) will deliver the necessary features in an IoT communication framework to meet the requirements and make the use cases not just real, but also easy to implement.
