HOPERF and MatterOn December 18, 2019, Amazon, Apple, Google, Samsung SmartThings, and the Zigbee Alliance jointly announced the launch of Project Connected Home over IP (CHIP). The project aimed to simplify development for smart home manufacturers while improving interoperability and compatibility among devices from different ecosystems.On May 11, 2021, the CHIP protocol was officially renamed Matter, and the Zigbee Alliance was rebranded as the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA).On October 4, 2022, Matter 1.0 was officially released and opened for certification. Subsequently, on May 18, 2023, the CSA announced the release of Matter 1.1.By early 2023, more than 300 companies worldwide had joined the CSA, actively participating in the development, deployment, and promotion of the Matter standard.
Matter is an application-layer standard built on IP protocols. It supports multiple underlying transport technologies, including Thread, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet, and utilizes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for device commissioning. By breaking down the barriers between proprietary ecosystems, Matter enables true cross-platform interoperability for smart home devices.
HOPERF is an active member of both the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) and the Thread Group, holding advanced membership status in both organizations. The company is committed to accelerating the adoption and deployment of Matter technology in the Chinese market. In addition, HOPERF is a CSA-recognized Product Attestation Authority (PAA), authorized to issue Device Attestation Certificates (DACs) for Matter devices.
HOPERF offers a one-stop Matter solution, including Matter over Thread modules, Matter over Wi-Fi modules, and customized Matter software development services. These solutions help smart home manufacturers quickly upgrade existing products to Matter-compliant devices, significantly reducing R&D costs and shortening development cycles to accelerate time to market.
HOPERF’s Matter solutions are mature, stable, and reliable, designed to help customers rapidly bring Matter products to market and gain an early competitive advantage.
