In the consumer electronics world, one of the hottest technologies around is Matter. It's a protocol that offers the promise of true interoperability amongst smart-home devices, no matter what branding they carry, and across the various smart-home control platforms like Google Nest Hub or Amazon Echo. A critical element underlying Matter is Thread, itself a wireless networking protocol that defines how devices connect with each other in a mesh networking scheme.

In this video, two representatives of the Thread Group (Jonathan Hui, VP of technology and Sujata Neidig, VP of Marketing) discuss what 2023 holds for Thread, Matter, their market acceptance, and technology developments in the smart-home ecosystem.
