ABOUT IP-BLiS
WHO WE ARE
We are not a new organization but rather existing organizations working together. The members of IP-BLiS intend to align on a common network on-boarding and shared secure network communication procedures to be applied in administrated IP based networks for building control and management systems. These common procedures ensure uniform integration of different control systems in a shared administrated IP based network and reduce the network administration effort serving different systems.
OUR VISION
To make commercial buildings more responsive to the needs of users by promoting a secure, multi-standard, IP-based harmonized IoT solution. Harmonization of access to an IP network with connected building automation products allowing for better integration.
MISSION
The IP-BLiS liaison parties, through collaboration and cooperation, will educate and influence the market regarding application framework standards over IP for commercial building connectivity through marketing and communications.
