Thread Group Formed to Promote IP-Based Networking Protocol
The news follows the recent formation of two other groups interested in creating standards for the Internet of Things. We recently reported that the AllSeen Alliance (backed by Qualcomm, Microsoft and 50 others) and the Open Interconnect Consortium(backed by tech companies including Intel, Broadcom, Dell and Samsung) both plan to develop standards for wirelessly connecting devices to each other and the Internet.
However, the Thread Group is proposing a wireless “mesh” network in which devices communicate with each other similarly to how they interact with a home Wi-Fi router.
