The European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC) and the IPv6 Forum have joined forces to promote each other’s essential technologies in deploying IPv6 and Smart Home-based applications and architecture concepts across Europe. Forum members will jointly benefit from this awareness and dissemination initiative in sharing essential knowledge in their key events and seeking and designing joint research projects. | ||
| “CENELEC within the ICT Standards Board (ICTSB) and in collaboration with the European Commission has been working for quite a long time on the Smart House initiative. Now that the concept is maturing and interest from the Consumer and Industry is rising, the challenge is more to help the convergence of the different initiatives in a structured and coherent way for the benefit of the European citizen. The role of Standardization is very important here, and IPv6 will facilitate the broad development of Home Networking ” states Mrs. Elena Santiago, Director General of CENELEC.
“CENELEC is very pleased to join the IPv6 Forum call for action. This decision speaks for CENELEC’s prompt vision of the future home. CENELEC’s embracing of new Internet technologies will unleash largest-scale deployment of new smart home models, arming its members with a hotbed of innovation and invention for next generation applications still to uncover”, emphasizes Latif LADID, Chair IPv6TF, Internet Society Trustee and President of the IPv6 Forum. |
