Our major competitor is the Open Connectivity Foundation, which is headed by chip manufactures Intel & Qualcomm: http://openconnectivity.org/

There are others who have a device browser similar to Xped (however Xped created the first device browser) but what really differentiates Xped is their flagship technology ADRC.

I am not a tech head (just a simple accountant) and cannot seem to understand how the OCF pair their devices.

Their technology / project is called Iotivity and I'm sure the answers are available someone on their website: https://www.iotivity.org/.

Would be appreciated if a tech minded individual could help us find the OCF's ADRC equivalent.
