Apple Offers Support For Thread Networking
ttyler writes: As MacRumors reports, Apple's new HomePod Mini supports Thread networking technology. "Thread is a low-power IP-based networking technology for connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices, offering a secure, mesh-based system that makes it easy to build an ecosystem of devices," reports MacRumors. "While Thread is essentially agnostic to the application layers that run on top of it, it can support multiple layers and may play a role in Project Connected Home over IP, the alliance of Apple, Amazon, Google, and other companies that is seeking to make it simpler to build devices compatible with multiple ecosystems such as Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant." In a footprint on the specs page, Apple says that HomePod mini's Thread support is limited to HomeKit devices, "so the technology can't yet be leveraged cross-platform and it remains to be seen how Apple will embrace Thread going forward," adds MacRumors.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
