The ZigBee Alliance

Who we areOpen, global, non profit organization

Industry driven consortium

About 400 members worldwide

What we doDevelop open standards for wireless device to device communications and the Internet of Things (IoT)

Certify products to ensure device interoperability

Promote ZigBee around the world

Liaise with other industry and standardization bodies

ZigBee in a Nutshell

Open, global wireless standardLow cost, low power IEEE 802.15.4 radio

Easy to install and maintainMesh networking

Scale up to thousands of devices

Reliable and secureCoexistence with other 2.4 GHz protocols

Best in class security (AES 128)

Device interoperabilityZigBee Cluster Library

ZigBee Certified program
