Who is Trident IoT?

Trident IoT is the Host sponsor of the 2023 Z-Wave Members Meeting and UnPlug Fest in Orlando Florida September 18-20. But you may be wondering, who is Trident IoT?

Z-Wave Summit 2023

Trident IoT is a technology and engineering company focused on simplifying RF development for connected device manufacturers.

Trident is a brand new company that has just come out of stealth mode today. Founded by Mariusz Malkowski (CTO), Michael Lamb (President), and Bill Scheffler (VP Sales), three IoT industry pioneers with decades of success who understand the complexity of bringing connected products to market. Mariusz and Bill were integral parts of Zensys, the company that invented Z-Wave back in 2000. Michael is an industry veteran bringing hundreds of IoT devices to market at companies like EcoLink, Ring, Comcast, and Honeywell.

Trident has hired several of the key Z-Wave engineering experts in Copenhagen which Silicon Labs recently closed. This talent and additional Trident engineering resources are focussed on bringing additional silicon sources and software to Z-Wave and eventually other wireless IoT protocols. The goal is to provide a much faster and easier path to bring wireless IoT products to market. They will be providing an alternative protocol stack, new footprint compatible modules, second source silicon, certification testing and engineering expertise to quickly bring your new products to market.

Read more details in the Trident press release or better yet, come to the Z-Wave Summit in Orlando in September and talk with the founders in person. Early Registration ends this week so snap up the registration, book the inexpensive hotel and flights and meet us for a good time in Florida! Bring your new devices and hubs to Summit on Monday during UnPlugFest where we plan to test just how far Z-Wave Long Range can reach with real commercial products. Naturally we’ll be testing interoperability as well – you can read more about the proposed agenda for UnPlugFest via this link (this is a link to an Alliance Members only page so you need a login which you can get for free if your company is an Alliance Member).
