Like many of you, we spent “quality” time at home over the holidays. My little ones had their share of fun testing out our new technology, shouting, “Alexa, turn on the Christmas tree” and “Google, turn on the Christmas lights.” This got me thinking about interoperability. The command activated the automated Christmas tree light perfectly for Alexa but didn’t work as smoothly for Google. Wouldn’t it be great if all IoT products were certified to work with standards against Google, Alexa, or Siri? And how does the same interoperability challenge apply to enterprise Wi-Fi? How can industry standards address this issue?
