Industry standards are imperative for technological innovation

Very exciting to see that, increasingly consumers consider standardization and interoperability when it comes to purchasing connected devices, cybersecurity concerns, and overall technological innovation in our society.

 According to a new survey conducted by the Open Connectivity Foundation, the issue of interoperability has come to the forefront of consumer concerns when it comes to IoT.

 “With a unifying standard in place, which provides a consistent standard of security, privacy and device definitions, we can defragment the market to ensure the future entails a world where all devices, despite vendor, can communicate with one another and the Internet of Things can reach its full potential,” said Joonho Park, executive director of OCF.
