还有其他一些障碍令企业难以抓住“物联网”的机遇，包括无线通信技术形形色色的类型。比如在家庭自动化方面，设备生产商就面临着多种选择，包括Insteon、Wi-Fi、蓝牙、Zigby、Z-Wave和更早的专利技术。

'It's not that things aren't getting connected--they are getting connected badly,' says Rob Chandhok, president of Qualcomm's interactive platforms unit.

高通的互动平台部门负责人钱德霍克(Rob Chandhok)说，实际上并不是没有实现“万物互联”，而是它们互联的方式太糟糕了。

Qualcomm is trying to rally hardware makers around a technology called AllJoyn to help devices discover each other and collaborate. Meanwhile, startups trying to sell their own control devices are going through contortions; Revolv Inc., for example, is marketing a hub that can communicate using seven different radio technologies.

高通正试图让硬件生产商团结在一项名为AllJoyn的技术周围，帮助各种设备相互发现并协作。与此同时，那些试图出售自己的控制设备的初创公司也在经历种种扭曲；如Revolv Inc.正在营销一款中央枢钮设备，可以利用七种不同的无线电技术进行通信。

Mike Soucie, Revolv's co-founder and marketing head, says agreements on key communications technologies may be five to 10 years away. Any standards that do emerge are likely to apply to a single market--like home security or transportation--rather than to many industries, predicts Gilad Meiri, chief executive of Neura Inc., a startup developing technology to help orchestrate connected devices.
