Intel-backed OIC advances in fast-moving IoT standards race

Internet of Things industry groups are in high gear, driving toward standards they hope will define how connected devices work together for years to come.

On Wednesday, an open-source project sponsored by the Open Interconnect Consortium released a preview of IoTivity, a software framework for implementing OIC’s emerging IoT standard. The move came just a week after the AllSeen Alliance introduced a new software framework of its own, which was designed for remote control of multiple AllJoyn-based devices.
