Dotdot Data Model is the foundational language for the smart objects we rely on every day, so they can speak to each other effortlessly on any network, and make themselves more useful to all.

Dotdot Data Model is based on the Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL), which is used in both Zigbee and Matter. Supported by years of market testing and adoption it defines and standardizes device types, commands the device can send or receive, and attributes it supports. As a result, varying smart devices can understand and speak the same language at the application layer, regardless of the underlying network transport.

Robust, low-power industrial IoT wireless mesh network with flexible data rates that enables neighborhood and field area communications for utilities and municipalities deploying intelligent grid and smart city solutions. JupiterMesh is on open IETF and IEEE standards and includes advanced technologies such as IPv6, frequency hopping, multi-band operation, authentication, encryption, and key management to drive industry realization of interoperable multi-vendor implementations that scale, are secure, and easy to manage.

Open Standards. Endless Possibilities.

Global, open standards provide more value to manufacturers and end-users. Consumers demand choice and the industry has realized that walled gardens and private ecosystems reduce options. They also increase cost and impact efficiency for manufacturers and developers. Aligning to standards provides a number of benefits:

Faster time-to-market

 Access to global supply chain and resource providers

A larger range of interoperable devices

Greater efficiency – no time wasted creating your own protocol or developing for multiple ecosystems 

More resources and time to spend on product design, differentiation and innovation

Technology developed and supported by a community, acting as an engineering force multiplier   

Certification programs, tools, and marks to build consumer trust

Support and advocacy for a global, open IoT by an established and reputable Standards Development Organization (SDO)
