The Thread Group, a company that helps with the interoperability of IoT devices, has released a specification for its low power-mesh networks. Vendors developing IoT devices can not begin to work with the specifications to be ready for the company's certification starting in 2020, which with backing from the likes of Google, Samsung and Qualcomm appears set for wide adoption. This comes as the industry for smart appliances is set to sell 700 million units by September, so making sure that as many products are as compatible as possible is key to the success of the industry.
