Matter, previously known as Project Connected Home over IP, is a communication standard aimed at improving interoperability between different classes of IoT devices. The Connectivity Standard Alliance, under whose umbrella the project falls, intends to streamline the IoT market by providing common standards for both manufacturers and customers. Manufacturers that comply with the standard can have their matter devices seamlessly connect with devices made by other manufacturers, thus increasing the functionality and speed of their IoT infrastructure. For consumers, having all their devices follow the same standard will mean that they won't need multiple interfaces to interact with their smart home. Instead of having apps from every manufacturer they buy from, they can use one app that’ll help them interact with every Matter device. Matter will be leveraging Wi-Fi and Thread networks to get the best from both high bandwidth and low latency communications. With such potential, it is no wonder that the tech giants Apple, Amazon, Google, and Samsung have all joined the CSA in developing Matter.
