Vividh Siddha — a champion of IP-based networks — to continue Thread technology ecosystem expansion and innovation
SAN RAMON, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Thread Group, an industry alliance addressing IoT convergence, security concerns, energy footprint, and architecture challenges at the network layer, today announced the appointment of Vividh Siddha as its new President. Siddha will oversee the group’s effort to expand the Thread ecosystem with current and new use-cases across home and commercial applications.
Siddha takes the reins from Grant Erickson, who’s stepping down from his role at Thread Group after a monumental five-year run. During his tenure, the alliance successfully expanded its relevance to commercial settings, and addressed IoT industry fragmentation by formalizing a number of liaison agreements including Project CHIP. Most notably, Erickson was instrumental to Thread Group’s evolution, and oversaw its efforts to bring the technology from concept and application into practice, as there are now more than 60 Thread-enabled consumer devices and components in the market.
