Introduction to Matter

Date: September 8

Time: 6 PM CEST / 9 AM PDT

Matter (previously known as Project CHIP or Project Connected Home over IP) aims to be an industry unifying standard for connected things at home. The objective is to specify and build an application layer which simplifies development for manufacturers and increases compatibility for consumers. In this webinar, we will introduce you to Matter, its usage, and its primary features. We will discuss underlying technologies and backward compatibility with already existing smart home protocols. We will also explore some unique attributes, like the one which allows Matter devices to work across and with multiple ecosystems.

Agenda:  

• Matter - Why is it necessary? 
• Matter vision
• Matter’s primary features and target device types
• What is Thread networking protocol?
• Matter over Thread and why you need Bluetooth Low Energy
• How does a Matter device can operate across multiple ecosystems concurrently?
• Bridging non-Matter IoT devices
• Nordic’s involvement in Matter, Connectivity Standards Alliance, OpenThread and Thread Group
• Nordic’s software and hardware suitable to build Matter devices
• ... and more!
