The IPSO Alliance is an organization formed last year of technology providers and end-users seeking to establish Internet protocol as the standard of choice for the interconnection of physical objects. Some of the members include Bosch, Cisco, Ericsson, Google, SAP, Sun Microsystems and Texas Instruments.
The new compliance and certification program builds on IPSO’s hosting of the world’s first interoperability demonstration in March that successfully showed IP-based global interoperability with IP-based sensors, networking infrastructure, servers and applications. IPSO conducted a second, broader and more encompassing, interoperability test successfully in May as well.
