WHY: As the anchor for the Zigbee Alliance’s exhibits at CES 2016, the recently ratified Zigbee 3.0 specification builds on and unifies ZigBee Alliance standards already proven across hundreds of millions of shipped devices. The industry has begun rallying around the new solution with the December 2015 announcement that the benefits of EnOcean Equipment Profiles (EEPs) already widely adopted in the sub-one GHz frequency are being combined with the Zigbee 3.0 solution in the worldwide 2.4 GHz frequency band. This and other Zigbee Alliance industry collaborations will help fulfill the Alliance’s vision for Zigbee 3.0 as a unifying IoT standard that will make it easier to develop and market interoperable products and solutions, unlock growth opportunities, and fuel innovation to enable surprising new capabilities in the home, workplace and cities.
