Ingenium, as a part of the TAHI’s Steering Group for the Interoperability Framework Iniciative. The aim of the IFI project is to establish the minimum steps needed to enable interoperability between intra & inter home devices that may operate to their own standards and to ensure that this only can occur where permitted by users/administrators. Some of the companies included in this ambitious iniciative are: E-ON, EDF, Green Energy Options and Ingenium among others.

Since it was created, just 5 years ago, TAHI has really established itself as a force for change, for exploiting new technologies, for enabling new services and their delivery to the consumer. Owned by its strong and committed membership, TAHI is making the difference that is speeding up the adoption of new services using broadband intelligently.

Its Working Groups are bringing understanding of the wants and needs of consumers, the benefits of services provision, the architectures for delivery. TAHI members are discovering new and vital ideas and ways of bringing new and better services to the consumer to the benefit of all stakeholders.

Out of work carried out by TAHI Members in the ISGs and Interoperability Working Groups, TAHI has identified the next major barrier to the growth of services to people in connected homes: Services and equipment will need to Interoperate and do so across all the market sector services to the home and the resultant applications in it, based on the TAHI Open Architecture, TAHI has launched its Interoperability Framework Initiative.
