ZigBee ratifies solution for IoT apps

The ZigBee Alliance has approved ZigBee 3.0, opening new doors for improved communication and interoperability between products used in applications ranging from connected home, intelligent buildings and smart cities to connected lighting, energy efficiency and other applications.

A non-profit association of companies, the ZigBee Alliance creates open, global standards that define the Internet of Things (IoT) for use in consumer, commercial and industrial applications.

Helping to lead the standards groups to collaborate with the ZigBee Alliance on fulfilling this vision for the IoT is the EnOcean Alliance. The two groups will work together to combine the benefits of EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEPs) already widely adopted in the sub-one GHz frequency with the newly ratified ZigBee 3.0 solution in the worldwide 2.4GHz frequency band.
