OpenIoT & ELC 2016

Thread was established in 2015 with one goal in mind: to create the best connect & control products in the home. Building upon existing standards like IEEE 802.15.4, it aims and filling the gaps and making the IoT promise come true. It also has quite a lot of synergy with the Open Connectivity Foundation's protocol, like the extensive use of IPv6 and CoAP.
This session will provide an overview of the Thread networking technology and the types of devices targeted for Thread. It will include expected flash and RAM usage for those devices, how the border router at the edge of the network comes into play and its implication for developers. Then the presenter will discuss the synergies between OCF and Thread and how deploying an IoTivity application on top of Thread might work.
