Open Connectivity Foundation ratified by International Organization for Standardization as ISO/IEC 30118-1:2018 Open Connectivity Foundation The Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) is an industry group whose stated mission is to develop specification standards, promote a set of interoperability guidelines, and provide a certification program for devices involved in the Internet of Things (IoT). It has become one of the biggest industrial connectivity standards organizations for IoT, including in its membership Samsung Electronics, Intel, Microsoft, Qualcomm and Electrolux. Currently, there are more than 300 member companies. The OCF tries to realize the Internet of Things also called Network of Everything. The IoT requires easy discovery,
Smart Cell Smart Cell Smart Cells are innovative ubiquitous radio access nodes that provide wireless connectivity across multiple spectrum ranges and technologies. As of January 2014, Macrocells, Small Cells, and Wi-Fi connections were the primary means of data connectivity. For these types of cells, the spectrum utilized is static and is based on the antenna installed. "A Smart Cell may transmit multiple frequencies and technologies which are controlled by the software and not the hardware" (antenna). Smart Cells are currently in the research and development stage but support software-defined networks which are proliferating the current mobile network structure, led by AT&T's adoption.
