Hans Dollee, Head of Technology Partnerships at NXP, confirmed the new membership.

"The Fairhair Alliance is playing a vital role in the fragmented landscape of IoT standard initiatives, by specifying a cost effective and secure IPv6-Based common network infrastructure that serves as the 'architecture-of-choice' for interoperable Lighting and Building Automation. And NXP, as leader in 'Secure Connections for a Smarter World,' should be part of the ecosystem, contributing to the set of technical specifications."
