Introduction to Matter: A Technical Overview

Join us for an updated and expanded webinar on Matter, the unified smart home standard. Since our original "Introduction to Matter" webinar over 4 years ago, the protocol has matured significantly. With hundreds of certified products in the market, ongoing spec updates, and real-world deployment experience. This session provides a more in-depth technical view for developers ready to build production Matter devices.

What's New:

Matter has evolved from a promising standard to a production-ready reality. This updated webinar reflects the current state of Matter (version 1.5), incorporating lessons learned from real deployments, expanded device type support, and the latest developments.

What You'll Learn:

We'll start by examining the fragmented smart home landscape that led to the creation of Matter, then dive into how the Connectivity Standards Alliance, backed by over 500 companies, including Amazon, Apple, and Google, is delivering on the promise of interoperability.

Technical Deep Dive:

• Protocol architecture: How Matter leverages IPv6 across Wi-Fi, Thread, and Ethernet
• Data Model fundamentals: Understanding Nodes, Endpoints, Clusters, and the Interaction Model
• Network technology comparison: When to choose Thread vs. Wi-Fi for your application
• Device Types: Overview of 61+ application device types and utility types
• Real-world implementation: Practical examples, including a door lock data model walkthrough

Why Nordic for Matter:

We'll show how Nordic leads the industry in performance, power efficiency, and quality. Our nRF54L Series and nRF Connect SDK enable everything from coin-cell powered sensors to complex Matter applications with the smallest memory footprint and lowest power consumption in the market.

Who Should Attend:

If you made it this far in the text, you should definitely attend. The webinar will be useful for embedded developers, product managers, and anyone evaluating Matter for smart home or building automation. Whether you are new to Matter or you attended our original webinar, there will be something for you.
