OpenSTX Foundation: Industrial Wireless Protocol Standardization

The provided text announces the launch of the OpenSTX Foundation, an initiative by the Joint Development Foundation (part of the Linux Foundation family) aimed at standardising Synchronous Transmission (STX) as an open industry protocol for industrial wireless connectivity. This new standard seeks to provide ultra-reliable, time-sensitive communication essential for applications like smart factories, cities, and disaster response, addressing the growing demand for scalable, secure, and real-time wireless protocols in mission-critical environments. The foundation will unite industry leaders and researchers to develop an enterprise-ready specification, ensuring interoperability and broad accessibility for next-generation industrial IoT and cyber-physical systems.
