The concept of the IoT has been laid out for over 20 years. Yet the technology landscape is still very much under construction: New alliances, protocols, and platforms come every year, while others get abandoned. It is important that we focus on building products that are relevant today, yet won’t be obsolete when the next innovation comes around. This post describes our approach to the path of future-proof IoT.
Ever-changing Technologies
From the early days of the IoT, it became clear that standards were going to be necessary if we were going to achieve massive object connectivity. Proprietary solutions would only get us so far in terms of scale and adoption. Siloed products simply are not able to achieve the network effects of open standard-based ones. This is why connectivity standards emerged rapidly, such as:

- ZigBee IP
- Thread
- 6TiSCH
- LoRa
- Wi-Sun
- NB-IoT
