Smarthome technology developed by a spinout from the Technical University of Berlin moves closer to potential user homes as the company partners with network company Lantiq.
Germany-based networking company Lantiq has joined forces with Iolite, a Germany-based spinout from the Technical University of Berlin, to launch its smarthome platform of the same name.
Iolite allows internet enabled devices to connect with products from the internet-of-things movement regardless of type. The Iolite creates an interoperable system within a house or business to allow any device to control any product.
Both companies bring their own expertise to the partnership with Iolite bringing the interoperable system and Lantiq bringing the network connectivity.
Sascha Dern, head of the home networking components business line at Lanti, said: “The Lantiq Smart Home Gateway provides the Iolite ecosystem with the desired performance and flexibility to offer all the features users expect in future smart homes.”
The Iolite system doesn’t just connect with third-party internet-of-things devices, users are able to add in cameras, sensors and even actuators to their systems.
