Back in March, I had a great time sharing my insights on the Matter protocol as an SME with over 50 R&D colleagues. Our discussion focused specifically on the CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) space. I hope this provides some valuable insights! I’m looking forward to seeing more network service providers join the ecosystem and release Matter-enabled routers in the near future.
In the previous post, I've shared about the firmware development trade-off, the complexity of IoT troubleshooting, and the overall certification process.
My first IoT role was as the platform product manager for WiZ at Signify (formerly Philips Lighting). My mission was to create a robust platform with smooth integration with major smart home systems. One of the key projects was to adopt Matter across our entire product portfolio within a year, bridging the gap by adding integration with the Apple Home ecosystem.
The Internet of Things (IoT) has been a buzzword for over a decade. Yet, we still haven't reached the point of living in a truly connected world. The truth is, even for an IoT PM like myself, the current smart home experience remains more of a frustration than a convenience.
Now that we have a basic understanding of how data is transmitted through the OSI model and how wireless technologies have evolved over the past decades, I'd like to turn the focus back to the CPE.
How about starting your day with a cup of nice coffee and a quick scroll through emails and messages on your smartphone? Nowadays, it is probably hard to imagine life without a network; or to be specific, a life without a wireless network.
