University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory

The University of New Hampshire Interoperability Laboratory is a place where different devices and systems, like phones and computers, can be tested to see if they can work together or "interoperate". For example, if someone wanted to use their phone to send a text message to someone else’s computer, the Interoperability Laboratory would be able to make sure that the phone and the computer would be able to communicate and send the message. They make sure that different pieces of technology talk the same language so that they can work together.
