TIA, IoT Community to Work Together on Smart Buildings, Cities Initiatives

The Telecommunications Industry Association and the IoT Community signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on initiatives for smart buildings, manufacturing, connected vehicles, intelligent transportation, healthcare and more, they said Thursday. Harnessing the power of the IoT is “essential for the successful development of smart buildings and eventually smart cities,” said Harry Smeenk, TIA senior vice president-technology programs. The groups will develop and share training content on IoT initiatives and will collaborate to educate industries on IoT’s role in buildings, they said.
