Testbed Results
From Concept to Reality and Back to Innovation
A major focus and activity of the IIC and its members, testbeds provide platforms for organizations to think through innovations, test new applications, processes, products, services and business models to ascertain their usefulness and viability before taking them to market.
Testbeds solve interoperability issues, generate requirements and priorities for standards organizations and culminate in new products/services and improved processes. They help uncover the emerging technologies, techniques and opportunities that are essential to solving important problems that benefit business and society.
Industry IoT Consortium testbeds generate results that support a feedback loop from concept to reality and back to innovation.
