China Mobile, the world’s largest telco by subscribers – nearing 850M, selected People Power to join the alliance to enhance its broadband market offering by leveraging partner technologies to unify protocols, improve services and achieve a secure and intelligent smart home ecosystem. The announcement of the alliance was made at China Mobile’s Worldwide Partner Conference in Guangzhou where People Power CEO, Gene Wang, presented a speech entitled, “A winning business model for the Internet of Things.” At the event, Wang also confirmed interoperability support for new protocols including China Mobile’s And-Link to address application areas like family safety, energy and senior care.

Our services offer interoperability among a wide variety of smart devices that can be used for home automation and security, energy management and health care.”

The People Power IoT Suite is used today by several of the world’s largest service providers in Asia, Europe and the U.S. Additionally, People Power recently announced a joint venture partnership with the U.S. Commerce Department’s National Technical Information Service, which is also working to improve interoperability.
