Organizations to combine benefits of EnOcean and ZigBee solutions for worldwide applications
DAVIS, Ca. — The ZigBee Alliance, a nonprofit association of organizations creating open, global standards that define the Internet of Things (IoT) for use in consumer, commercial, and industrial applications, announced, with the EnOcean Alliance, a consortium for battery-less, wireless smart buildings and smart homes, that the two organizations will cooperate on combining the benefits of EnOcean energy-harvesting wireless solutions with ZigBee 3.0 for worldwide applications.
The cooperation connects the two alliances’ advantages, synergies, and track records of standards advancements to create an open, global specification that will extend energy-harvesting wireless communication to a broader range of self-powered IoT sensor solutions. These solutions use the surrounding environment as their energy sources, making battery-less, connected devices a reality.
