Matter’s open-source standard for IoT has broadened its adoption among a variety of global technology players creating a world of interconnected Smart Home devices and less fragmentation
The Connectivity Standards Alliance, an organization of hundreds of companies creating, maintaining, and delivering open global standards for the Internet of Things (IoT), comes out of the 2022 Consumer Electronics Show with tremendous momentum for the new standard, Matter. As a global, open-sourced standard, Matter creates the ability for IoT devices and ecosystems from participating manufacturers to simply and securely communicate with each other, regardless of brand, removing barriers to interoperability and ushering in a new era of innovation.
“The 2022 CES show featured a loud statement by our members that this technology is finally unifying for the benefit of consumers, who will see more choices for smart home technology, easier setup and new innovative experiences,” says Tobin Richardson, CEO of CSA. “Our new virtual collaboration approach allows members across the globe to participate in test events, accelerating certification program development and increasing the pipeline of new Matter devices coming to market.”
