Next up from #Unify2026: Certification for Success: The Path to Interoperability & Market Readiness. A certified product is more than a compliant product. It's a product customers, retailers, and ecosystems can trust. This session brought together certification experts and product leaders to demystify one of the most important and most misunderstood steps in the product journey. From design and testing through to launch, the conversation made clear that certification isn't a checkbox. It's what turns a good product into one the market is ready to embrace. Panelists shared best practices, hard-won lessons, and real-world examples of certified products in action, offering practical guidance for anyone navigating the path from development to deployment. Moderated by Jack Narcotta of @TIWireless, the panelists Jon Harros from the Alliance, Lakshmi Narayana Mukkapati from @WiFiAlliance, Tom Sciorilli from @TheThreadGroup, and Daniel Cowling from @BluetoothSIG delivered a session that was as actionable as it was insightful. The takeaway: certification doesn't slow you down. It sets you up. Watch now: hubs.la/Q04v8tzX0 #csaiot #standardsmatter #iotcommunity #iotsolutions #globaltech

The conversations at #Unify2026 extended far beyond the stage. Thank you to @SnowballTech, @ST_World, @TeledyneLecroy, and @TheThreadGroup for exhibiting at #Unify2026 and contributing to the conversations that brought the connected technology ecosystem together. Your engagement with attendees created opportunities to exchange ideas, explore new technologies, and strengthen industry collaboration. We’re grateful for your support and participation! #csaiot #iotcommunity #globaltech

Thank you to @TheThreadGroup for being a Liaison Sponsor of #Unify2026. Throughout the event, Thread Group helped foster conversations around #interoperability, open standards, and the technologies enabling the next generation of connected experiences. Their sponsored session, “Why Thread, Why Now: Designing the Future of IoT,” gave attendees a valuable perspective on the growing role of Thread across #smarthomes, commercial buildings, and #connected environments. Thank you for helping bring the industry’s vision for interoperable connectivity to life at #Unify2026! #csaiot #standardsmatter #iotcommunity #iotsolutions #globaltech

Everyone's talking about #Matter. But what's actually powering it? Why Thread, Why Now: Designing the Future of IoT gave attendees at #Unify2026 a practical, plain-language look at the networking layer that often goes unnoticed and why that's starting to change. From smart homes to commercial buildings to large-scale lighting environments, #Thread is quietly becoming the infrastructure that makes seamless connectivity possible. The session was designed for the Thread-curious: no jargon, no assumptions, just real-world context and honest conversation about where Thread fits and how it stacks up against legacy approaches. Big thanks to @TheThreadGroup leaders John Bartucci of @FBIN_News, @jhui of @Google, and Ann Olivo of @siliconlabs for breaking it down in a way that left attendees with the confidence to evaluate where Thread belongs in their own product roadmap. If you left with one takeaway, it's this: Thread isn't a buzzword. It's the foundation. #csaiot #standardsmatter #iotcommunity #iotsolutions #globaltech #thread

Certification can be the difference between a smooth product launch and months of unexpected delays. At #Unify2026, leaders from the Alliance, @WiFiAlliance, @TheThreadGroup, and @BluetoothSIG come together to share practical lessons from the certification journey, from early design decisions and testing strategies to avoiding common pitfalls that slow time to market. Moderated by Jack Narcotta from @techinsightsinc, this session features Jon Harros, Lakshmi Narayana Mukkapati, Tom Sciorilli, and Daniel Cowling discussing how certification supports interoperability, strengthens market readiness, and helps products reach the market faster. Whether you're building with #Matter, #Aliro, or other technologies, you'll leave with insights you can apply to your next product launch.
