IOLITE and Lantiq Enable the Connected Home with Standard- and Device
Independent Open Smart Home Platform
Munich/Neubiberg, Germany and Berlin – April 9, 2015 – Lantiq, a leading
supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies and the startup
IOLITE, a Spin-off of DAI-Labor (Technical University of Berlin), present the
innovative smart home platform IOLITE. The platform is designed as an open and
fully interoperable ecosystem. It allows devices of all standards and kinds, e.g.
sensors, actuators, or cameras to be integrated in a home environment and used in a
range of innovative applications. The computing power for the IOLITE platform is
provided by Lantiq`s high-performance GRX 300 network processor family.
In the future, smart homes will become parts of smart cities and the cornerstones of
the emerging e-health, e-mobility, e-energy and industry 4.0 markets. The key
challenge to achieve this vision is interoperability. IOLITE offers a unique, open smart
home ecosystem with a pure focus on interoperability – the broadband gateway will
be the central hub in the connected home, enabling the easy management of all
devices, home automation, the Internet of Things (IoT) and further applications.
The IOLITE ecosystem offers cooperation opportunities and benefits for all
participating partners, including users, installers, developers, providers and device
manufacturers. Related tools enable smart and easy configuration of the smart home
environment.
