IPSO Alliance
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 50 members[2] from leading technology, communications and energy companies.
The IPSO Alliance is the primary advocate for IP networked devices for use in energy, consumer, healthcare and industrial applications. The IPSO Alliance is a non-profit association of more than 60 members from leading technology, communications and energy companies around the world.
IP provides the freedom of ultimate flexibility that will help manage your world whether interfacing with household appliances and integrated home systems for security and lighting or monitoring an entire factory.
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 a 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.
IPSO Challenge
Launched on February 15, 2013, the IPSO Alliance announced "IPSO Challenge 2013[3]", a worldwide competition to showcase the use of the Internet Protocol (IP) in sensor/control and M2M applications enabling the Internet of Things (IOT). Entrants could submit their idea, device or design that highlighted the use of IP in Smart Objects. A panel of leading industry experts judged the entries and semi-finalists’ technologies were promoted by the Alliance and their partners. The top three finalists will be flown to Sensors Expo in Chicago, IL on June 6, 2013 to present their prototype or product, where the winner will be announced.
First prize was $10,000USD with second and third place receiving $5,000USD and $2,500USD respectively.
The competition opened on February 15, 2013. Entries were evaluated based on innovation, marketability, and impact on areas within the IoT and M2M. The first round of judging closed on April 5, 2013.[4]
IPSO CHALLENGE information can also be found on Facebook at www.faceboook.com/IPSOChallenge and on Twitter @IPSOChallenge.
Activities
February 2013 IPSO announces IPSO CHALLENGE 2013, an innovation design contest for the next generation of IoT.[5]
August 2012 In conjunction with IETF 84 in Vancouver, BC, IPSO hosts an interoperability event that demonstrates Internet of Things interoperability using the latest IPv6 and Web Standards for machine-to-machine (M2M) devices and cloud services in connected home, building automation, lighting and smart energy-related applications. The Alliance also participates in the Bits-N-Bites Open House, showcasing NXP's smart light bulb, Proto6's motion sensor, and the Ericsson/Sensinode in-home sensors.[6]
June 2012 IPSO seats a new Board of Directors[7]
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.[8] 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 [9]
September 2011 IPSO publishes first quarterly newsletter to feature news and events from the world of IP - complimentary subscriptions available to all interested persons.[10]
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[11]
On October 15, 2008, members of the IPSO Alliance released uIPv6, the world's smallest IPv6 stack.[12]
