Unbroken growth trend for TALQ certifications increases interoperability in smart cities

The TALQ Consortium, which developed the Smart City Protocol, a global interface standard for smart city applications, continues to grow its membership base and announces every few weeks new officially TALQ-certified products. The TALQ-certified products include Central Management Software (CMS) and Outdoor Device Networks (ODN; Gateways) for various smart city applications, currently from 47 different vendors globally. By certifying their products according to the Smart City Protocol, manufacturers enable interoperability with a wide range of systems from other vendors. For cities and municipalities, the growing number of certified solutions offers not only greater flexibility and freedom of choice, but also the ability to avoid vendor lock-in when investing in smart city applications—such as Smart Street Lighting, Waste Management, Parking Solutions, Environmental Sensing or Traffic Control.

However, the reality often looks different when large projects roll out. Thousands of controllers need to work together and still face problems with reliability, compatibility across different lighting systems, and network congestion. This is because so many devices cannot connect in the same area.
