PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
As Q2 2018 comes to a close and we return from a very successful Austin Members Meeting, Thread continues to prove its strength as a low power, wireless networking technology that solves real use cases and product challenges in the home and commercial markets - Here And Now. At the same time, more organizations are reinforcing their commitment to the Thread technology and Thread Group.




Adoption

While there are many messages found in the marketplace about solutions for connecting devices in the Internet of Things, you will find an increasing number of them using Thread - Here And Now. A shining example is from our new Contributor member, Particle.io, highlighting their up-and-coming Thread-based Particle Mesh end-to-end developer ecosystem and platform via a recently-completed Thread case study.



Thread is proud to announce its first certified border router - Here And Now. D-Link has recently completed Thread certification of their Thread Border Router (DSH-G300-TBR). This Thread Border Router device enables connectivity and control of Thread End Devices from any supplier, enabling speed to market and Thread Eco-System deployment.



Finally, we would like to congratulate our members who worked hard behind the scenes, as part of the OpenAIS lighting initiative, to create a very real and compelling IPv6-based, local-control lighting project at the Witte Dame in Eindhoven, the Netherlands that utilized our upcoming Thread Commercial Extensions work. IPv6-based lighting and lighting controls with Thread are Here And Now.

Leadership

Thread group members Siemens and Particle.io recently strengthened their commitment to the Thread Group and Thread technology. Siemens has increased their support from Contributor to Sponsor, joining the Board to help drive Thread's expansion into enterprise and commercial markets, with Klaus Wächter as Siemens' primary board member. The Board is excited to have Siemens' and Klaus' engagement and deep insights into these markets. Likewise, Particle.io has increased its engagement, upgrading from Affiliate to Contributor on the pending launch of its exciting Thread-based end-to-end Particle Mesh developer ecosystem and platform.

Thank you to all our members and supporters for making Thread Here And Now. As we continue to drive membership and adoption leading up to the next Thread Members Meeting - October 16-18, 2018 in Munich, Germany, I encourage you to learn about how to join us.

Best Regards,
Grant Erickson,
President, Thread Group
