Parks Associates Announces Event Partnership with Connectivity Standards Alliance

Parks Associates is excited to partner with Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) in 2024 and 2025. The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) spearheads the development of Matter, a universal connectivity standard designed to enhance interoperability and simplify the integration of smart home devices across different ecosystems.

In addition to developing the Matter standard, the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is involved in creating and maintaining other protocols and standards for the Internet of Things (IoT), such as Zigbee. They focus on ensuring robust security, enhancing device interoperability, and promoting widespread adoption of IoT technologies through industry collaboration and certification programs. The CSA also provides resources and support to member companies to facilitate the development and deployment of innovative connected products.

The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) and its initiatives, like the Matter standard, are crucial for the smart home industry.  The recognition across key industry players to prioritize interoperability in communications — especially the tech giants is significant. Interoperability between devices from different manufacturers simplifies the user experience and enables additional services.

By establishing common protocols and standards, the CSA can help reduce fragmentation in the market, enabling consumers to choose and integrate various smart home products. Additionally, their focus on robust security and certification programs enhances trust and reliability, which are vital for widespread adoption and the growth of the smart home ecosystem.

CSA is a Premier Sponsor at CONNECTIONS 2025 and Smart Energy Summit 2025, events hosted by Parks Associates.
