On May 15, 2017, the Zigbee Alliance will officially launch the Zigbee 3.0 certification test program. The main task of ZigBee3.0 is to unify ZigBee Home Automation (ZigBee HA), ZigBee Health (ZigBee), ZigBee Health, ZigBee, ZigBee Telecommunication services (ZigBee TS) and other application layer protocol to solve the different application layer protocol between the interoperability issues, and further standardization ZigBee protocol.

What is ZigBee technology?

ZigBee technology is an advanced low-cost, low-cost, low-complexity, high-security, and support for two-way wireless communication technology for mesh networks. ZigBee 3.0 is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, 2.4GHZ (ISM Band ) And use the ZigBee PRO standard network layer protocol, even the smallest, lowest power consumption of the device can achieve reliable communication.

ZigBee technology has become the mainstream of intelligent home communication technology development, it can provide home automation, energy management, heating and cooling, improve equipment safety and convenience capabilities and other functions.

ZigBee 3.0: the cornerstone of building networking

The ZigBee 3.0 network can participate in the "Internet of Things" (IOT) to remotely monitor and control network nodes through networking devices such as smart phones, tablets and laptops. In addition ZigBee 3.0 can be the original multiple agreements unified as a single standard. To achieve the seamless interoperability between many intelligent devices, so that consumers and businesses enjoy the innovative products and services seamless cooperation brought about by the high quality of life. Zigbee 3.0, which has no Zigbee technology, can be easily embedded in Zigbee 3.0, which provides greater interoperability for smart home and networking products manufacturers, greatly improving product innovation.

ZigBee 3.0 testing requirements

Because of the need for more interoperability, ZigBee 3.0 technology will become more stringent on test requirements. As part of the certification process, the new ZigBee Test Tool (ZTT) will be the official Alliance recognized certification testing tool.

Why ZigBee 3.0?

ZigBee 3.0 simplifies the selection process for developers to create networking products and services. It has all the features of tens of millions of devices on the market that use the ZigBee standard to support communication and interoperability between smart home, networking lighting and other devices, so product developers and service providers can provide more Diversification and a fully interoperable solution.
