Samsung, Intel, Dell and other companies will teach different gadgets to communicate with each other.

Another industrial group has focused on the Internet of things. Samsung has partnered with Atmel, Broadcom, Dell, Intel and Wind River to organize the Open Interconnect Consortium, which aims to create engineering standards that will help electronic devices communicate with each other - for example, the user can control his Samsung refrigerator using a smartphone Intel

Consumers already have the ability to control Nest smart thermostats or communicate with the LG washing machine using a telephone, but the new platform for the Internet of Things is designed to provide a single space for communication of electronic devices from different manufacturers.

It should be noted that similar projects already exist - this is the Industrial Internet Consortium (founded by AT & T, Cisco, GE, IBM and Intel) and the AllSeen Alliance (established by the Linux Foundation with the support of Qualcomm; the group includes 51 companies, including Haier, LG Electronics, Panasonic, Sharp and Microsoft).

The main goal of the new project is to create an open source code that will help turn the Internet of Things into something more real, capable of benefiting people. There is no ready code yet, but its first version is expected in the third quarter of this year, writes GigaOm resource.

Initially, the code will be tied to the systems of "smart home" and "smart office." Specifications will help simplify the remote control of smart home appliances and corporate devices using smartphones, tablets or personal computers. This will save energy and money, the group said.

The Open Interconnect Consortium project is very similar to the Qualcomm initiative, except that the code is being developed not by one but by several companies. Working together on one common goal will be a landmark event for the IT industry, which may leave Qualcomm behind.

Recall that the BlackBerry is also developing a platform for the Internet of things with a focus on corporate clients.
