Industrial Internet Consortium and Trusted IoT Alliance announce combination of memberships
工業互聯網聯盟和可信物聯網聯盟宣布成員合并

The Industrial Internet Consortium(IIC) and the Trusted IoT Alliance (TIoTA) announced they are combining their memberships.

工業互聯網聯盟（IIC）和可信物聯網聯盟（TIoTA）宣布兩家成員將合并。

Effective immediately, the organizations will work together under the IIC umbrella to drive industry collaboration and research, foster open systems development and promote best practices for trusted IoT systems such as blockchain and related distributed ledger technologies (DLT).The first formal meeting of the combined organization will be held in Athens, Greece, March 9-12, 2020.

從現在起，兩家組織將在工業互聯網聯盟的保護共同努力，推動行業合作和研究，促進開放系統開發，并推廣諸如區塊鏈和相關的分布式賬本技術（DLT）等可信物聯網系統的最佳實踐。該聯合組織的第一次正式會議將于2020年3月9日至12日在希臘雅典舉行。  

“Over its two-year lifespan, TIoTA has impacted the intersection of DLT and IoT, while in its five years, the IIC has established major influence in IoT across industries,”said Csilla Zsigri, Senior Analyst, Blockchain & DLT, 451 Research.“This consolidation will strengthen the ability of the IIC to provide guidance and advance best practices on the uses of distributed ledger technology across industries, and boost the commercialization of these products and services.”

451 Research區塊鏈和DLT高級分析師Csilla Zsigri表示：“在過去的兩年中，可信物聯網聯盟影響了分布式賬本技術和物聯網技術的交匯，而在成立的五年內，工業互聯網聯盟在物聯網的各個行業中建立了重要影響。此次整合將加強工業互聯網聯盟在跨行業使用分布式賬本技術方面提供指導和推進最佳實踐的能力，并推動這些產品和服務的商業化。”

“TIoTA has built a community of technology leaders focused on bringing blockchain/DLT solutions to market,”said John Calian, Head of Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T-Labs), an Enterprise Member of TIoTA.“This community is focused on leveraging the power of blockchain/DLT and the concept of decentralized trust to achieve greater security, scalability, and interoperability within existing and future IoT ecosystems. This direction will help the IIC continue its market momentum.”

“可信物聯網聯盟建立了一個技術領導者社區，致力于將區塊鏈/DLT解決方案推向市場，”可信物聯網聯盟企業成員電信創新實驗室（T-Labs）負責人John Calian說道。“該社區專注于利用區塊鏈/ DLT的功能以及去中心化信任的概念，在現有和未來的物聯網生態系統中實現更高的安全性、可擴展性和互操作性。這一方向將有助于工業互聯網聯盟保持其市場勢頭。”  

“We are excited to take this step toward integrating TIoTA with IIC and continuing to accelerate our momentum together,”said Anoop Nannra, Founder and Chairman of TIoTA.“As an IIC liaison, we have already partnered with IIC on some of our Trusted IoT Global Design Challenges, our Trusted IoT Reference Architecture working group, and other initiatives. We are looking forward to bringing these into the IIC portfolio to further develop practices around multi-stakeholder innovation strategies. Our membership is excited to help drive and shape the advancement of trusted systems in a broad range of IoT applications with the wider community.”

可信物聯網聯盟創始人兼總裁Anoop Nannra表示：“我們很高興邁出這一步，將可信物聯網聯盟與工業互聯網聯盟整合并繼續加快發展勢頭。作為聯手的一部分，我們已經與工業互聯網聯盟就一些可信物聯網全球設計挑戰、可信物聯網參考架構工作組以及其他計劃展開了合作。我們期待將這些納入工業互聯網聯盟產品組合中，以進一步圍繞多方利益相關者創新戰略開發實踐。我們的成員很高興能夠幫助推動和塑造更廣泛社區的物聯網應用中可信系統的進步。”

“We welcome the trusted systems expertise that TIoTA brings to IIC,”said IIC Executive Director Richard Soley.“Since IIC began in 2014, the use cases for distributed ledger technology have grown exponentially. The combined organization will offer a single stop for IoT industry guidance and a larger ecosystem for end users looking to improve their bottom line with IoT and DLT. This will enable the Consortium to become the center of gravity for the future of Industrial IoT systems across industry verticals.”

工業互聯網聯盟執行董事Richard Soley表示：“我們歡迎可信物聯網聯盟帶給工業互聯網聯盟可信系統的專業知識。自2014年工業互聯網聯盟成立以來，分布式賬本技術的應用呈指數級增長。合并后的組織將為物聯網行業指南提供一站式服務，并為希望通過物聯網和DLT改善利潤的最終用戶提供更大的生態系統。這將使聯盟成為行業垂直行業未來工業物聯網系統的重心。”
