Consortium Open Interconnect Consortium (OIC) is planning to establish an open communication standard for intelligent information management between any devices, including household appliances, personal computers and wearable electronics, regardless of the form factor, service provider, or the operating system.
Participants in the consortium will provide software and engineering solutions for protocol specifications and certification programs based on open standards. Such an approach is expected to accelerate the flowering of a new era where everything can communicate with everyone. In the first stage, there are two profile: home and office. In the first case, the data transfer will be set up between the appliances, sensors and computers (smartphones) users, including work without access to the Internet, and in the second case, we will go on a coordinated cross-work office equipment. Further similar profiles to be developed for cars, medicine and so on.
At this stage, the consortium does not define any of the wireless communication standards as the base for the Internet of Things. To communicate with the Internet will be selected as the most suitable of the existing standards, as well as from new.
Note, in December last year a group of companies organized a similar alliance - AllSeen Alliance to promote Total Internet. Among the founders of the alliance entered AllSeen company Haier, LG Electronics, Panasonic, Qualcomm, Sharp, Silicon Image and TP-LINK. Compare the two lists. The struggle between the OIC and AllSeen will be serious. AllSeen alliance as the basic protocol to choose the design of Qualcomm AllJoyn and also open source. Group of OIC this is unlikely to agree. Add support group alliance AllSeen included companies such as Canary, Cisco, D-Link, doubleTwist, Fon, Harman, HTC, Letv, LIFX, Lite-on, Moxtreme, Musaic, Sears Brand Management Corporation, Sproutling, The Sprosty Network , Weaved and Wilocity, which gives the organization a certain weight.
