Zigbee, China Unicom Research Institute form Alliance
The institute will join at the participant level
DAVIS, Calif. — The Zigbee Alliance warmly welcomes the China Unicom Research Institute, one of China's three major mobile service carriers, as they join the alliance at the participant level.
In 2015, the China Unicom Research Institute initiated the Smart Home Standardization United Group (SSUG), which drew in a number of well-known enterprises in the industry, including FiberHome, ZTE, and Wulian, and took the lead in developing implementation standards from devices to gateways and further to the cloud. Zigbee is adopted by SSUG as the major wireless communication standard for connecting end devices to the gateway. Based on the understanding of market demand and through laboratory test results, SSUG has proposed a number of parameter recommendations and additional mandatory features to improve user experiences.
