On October 4, 2022, the Alliance released Matter 1.0, a global, open-source standard that removes
barriers to IoT device interoperability by enabling smart home products to work together
seamlessly. This industry-unifying standard is the foundation for connected things and eliminates
the walled gardens of IoT with the promise of reliable, secure connectivity. Matter paves a new
path to product innovation and adoption by creating increased connections between more objects,
simplifying development for manufacturers, and improved compatibility and accessibility for
consumers. We will share how to get involved in the Connectivity Standards Alliance and the nearly
500-plus global companies inspired to change the future of IoT.
