    RWE have created a communication protocol called "Lemonbeat" which can address
challenges within the Internet of Things. Part of the solution is a common language called
"Lemonbeat Smart Device Language", compact enough to be used even by the simplest of
devices, yet expandable to serve complex machinery.

    Widespread adoption would ensure that all things in the Internet are linkable and
could work on the same logic. "I firmly believe that this increased commonality amongst
devices will dramatically speed up innovation within the IoT Industry," said Dr. Dietrich
Gemmel, managing director of RWE Effizienz. The ability to use Lemonbeat as a whole, or
combine Lemonbeat Smart Device Language with other protocols such as Bluetooth, WLAN or
Thread is seen as the key to proliferation.

    The solution stems from experience gained through home automation, several products of
which now use Lemonbeat. "We have taken advantage of our technological edge as the market
leader in Germany to develop a common communication concept - for the full bandwidth of
the Internet of Things," says Gemmel.

    The initial offering is a chip and licences for software which allows the swift
implementation of Lemonbeat. Further products are expected to follow.
