The IPSO Alliance[1] is an organization promoting the use of the Internet Protocol (IP) for Smart Object communications. IPSO is a global non-profit organization founded in 2008 and has more than 60 members[2] from leading technology, communications and energy companies.

Smart Objects

Smart objects are small computers (microcontrollers) with a sensor or actuator and a communication device, embedded in objects such as thermostats, car engines, light switches, and industrial machinery. Smart objects enable a wide range of applications in areas such as home automation, building automation, factory monitoring, smart cities, structural health management systems, smart grid and energy management, and transportation.

Internet of Things

The IPSO Alliance is the leading organization defining and enabling the “Internet of Things”. IP has proven itself a long-lived, stable, and highly scalable communication technology that supports a wide range of application, a wide range of devices, and a wide range of underlying communication technologies. The layered architecture of IP provides a high level of flexibility, innovation and accelerates the adoption of network-connected devices, often referred to as the “Internet of Things.”

Industry standards

As a collaborative organization, IPSO’s activities include webinars, interoperability events, and the publication of white papers. The Alliance also complements the work of entities such as the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the ISA, all of which develop and ratify technical standards in the industrial community.

Activities

June 2012 In celebration of World IPv6 Launch Day, the IPSO Alliance enables its website to be IPv6 capable

May 2012 IPSO welcomes its 65th Member

March, 2012 IPSO Alliance teams with European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) to assemble companies from around the world to validate understanding of the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) base specification under development by IETF, and tests protocol implementation interoperability and conformance. Test results provided to both the IETF and Internet of Things (IoT) communities to enhance the quality of these developing standards. [3] This event was organized in co-operation the Probe-IT project, held in Paris, France on 24-25 March 2012 and was co-located with IETF 83 [4]

September 2011 IPSO publishes first quarterly newsletter to feature news and events from the world of IP - complimentary subscriptions available to all interested persons. [5]

June, 2011 IPSO announces intent to begin a series of interoperability testing

In May 2010, ZigBee Alliance and IPv6 Forum form strategic relationships with the IPSO Alliance to speed adoption of IP networked smart objects

In April 2010, IPSO conducts a series of successful interoperability tests with several independent implementations of RPL and of 6LoWPAN-HC.

In November 2008, TIME Magazine lists the IPSO Alliance and the Internet of Things as the 30th most important innovation of 2008[6]

On October 15, 2008, members of the IPSO Alliance released uIPv6, the world's smallest IPv6 stack.[7]
