<p>The mobile industry is characterized by global standards, and various standards-based solutions are being proposed by organizations such as the 3GPP, ETSI and oneM2M&trade; for the Internet of Things. As an industry leader, InterDigital has been an active contributor to the development of standards-based IoT from the beginning and continues to help drive the efforts, which can be seen in some of the recent efforts and involvement of our engineers. &nbsp;</p>
<p>In early November, InterDigital&rsquo;s Dale Seed, Principal Engineer, IoT Research and Development, led a webinar that provided an overview of new features and functionality supported by a newly-published Release 2 version of the oneM2M&trade; standard. oneM2M&trade; is a global organization creating a scalable and interoperable standard for communications of devices and services used in M2M applications and the IoT.

<p>A few weeks later, Dale participated in a panel session alongside industry experts from Nokia, Sierra Wireless, Qualcomm and ETSI at the <a href="http://iotslam.com/session/Panel-oneM2M-Release-2-setting-the-standard-for-IoT-Interoperability">Grand Slam &rsquo;16 Internet of Things Virtual Conference</a>. The panel, titled &ldquo;oneM2M&trade; Release 2: Setting the Standard for IoT Interoperability,&rdquo; highlighted the role oneM2M&trade; plays in providing interoperability across a number of IoT connectivity protocols. &nbsp;</p>
<p>InterDigital&rsquo;s IoT team also participated in ETSI&rsquo;s IoT/M2M Workshop 2016 which took place from November 15-17, 2016 in Sophia Antipolis, France.&nbsp; Owen Griffin, Senior Manager, InterDigital Europe, presented on the oneTRANSPORT initiative and the role of InterDigital&rsquo;s oneMPOWER&trade; powered by wot.io&trade; within the smart transport initiative.
