The alliance points out that LEXI joins a growing roster of Z-Wave Alliance board of director member companies that currently includes ADT, Alarm.com, ASSA Abloy, Bluesalve Partners, LEEDARSON, Qolsys, Ring, Silicon Labs, and Vivint.
“The future is open, interoperable, and flexible – and this is the vision and reality LEXI shepherds into the market and contributes to at a board-level and to workgroup conversations within the Z-Wave Alliance,” states John E. Osborne II, COO, LEXI.
“Companies of any size with the right goals, roadmap, and passion can have a seat at these important industry tables. Working together to solve challenges, mutually benefit and draft off one another’s experience and ideas, and evolve the IoT landscape for everyone involved is a mission we believe in whole-heartedly.”
Holding positions as vice chairman of the Z-Wave Alliance board of directors and chairman emeritus for the Connectivity Standards Alliance, Osborne recently joined LEXI as chief operating officer (COO).
