At an event in Shenzhen, China Huawei announced a new standard called HiLink, a light OS (IOT Kernel) called Lite OS, routers and upgraded devices. Key highlight was the HiLink that will help connect devices in different ecosystems and the Lite OS that will be open sourced for everyone to develop.
It was a big event and also Honor’s 2nd Anniversary. Talking about the Hi-Link protocol, Huawei honor President, George Zhao said that current ecosystem (home automation) does not allow devices in different ecosystem to connect together. Hence the Hi-Link was created that will be able to connect to other devices using standardized language. Supported devices should have the Hi-Link tech inside.
