On January 5th, the ZigBee Alliance released the landmark inter-network collaboration IoT common language, dotdot, at CES 2017 and demonstrated the first batch of dotdot products based on the Thread IP network.
The ZigBee Alliance, originally registered in the United States, has given priority to China's strategic layout. ZigBee has taken the lead in breaking through the IoT ecosystem with conflicting agreements and borders, forming a ZigBee industry ecosystem for the Internet of Things era. No suspense. The first “ship ticket†to the industrial ecology of the Internet of Things era was harvested.
ZigBee open milestoneAccording to the official news of the ZigBee Alliance China member group, the theme of the day was "One Technology, Endless Choice". The booth displayed nearly 100 products manufactured according to the ZigBee Alliance's leading interoperable standards, including the Thread-based network but also using the ZigBee Alliance IoT. The first batch of products in the common language.
The official rendering of the ZigBee Alliance shows that the ZigBee Alliance has changed its trademark on materials such as the booth site, and the new application layer protocol is officially named after dotdot.
Although the industry is still unclear about the specific content of the unified roadmap for promoting the Internet of Things (IoT) released by the Zigbee Alliance, it is certain that the ZigBee Alliance has released a common language for cross-network collaboration IoT-dotdot.
This means that a new application layer protocol dotdot has been introduced based on the ZigBee technology standard. This application layer protocol stack has achieved new breakthroughs in the ecological connectivity and openness of the Internet of Things industry, and is a milestone.
In fact, as early as May 2016, the ZigBee Alliance released ZigBee 3.0, announcing the interoperability between smart products based on the ZigBee application layer protocol. In the same period, the ZigBee Alliance and the Thread Alliance issued a joint statement announcing that the ZigBee 3.0 application layer protocol will be implemented on the Thread network architecture.
Following the announcement of the ZigBee Alliance's compatibility with the Thread protocol, the first batch of products based on the Thread network but using the ZigBee Alliance IoT common language also publicly announced the success of the ZigBee compatible Thread protocol.
The leading role of the ZigBee ecosystemAs early as 2001, the ZigBee Alliance was established, and three years later, ZigBee was brought to China. Since 2013, ZigBee has been used by Chinese manufacturers and their application developers in the smart home field.
In general, the ZigBee industry ecosystem has been established with the 2016 ZigBee 3.0 application layer protocol and the 2017 inter-network collaboration IoT common language dotdot.
The reason is that although the ZigBee Alliance is registered in the United States, the ZigBee Alliance has made the Chinese industry chain a strategic priority. The iconic action is that when the ZigBee Alliance releases the ZigBee 3.0 application layer protocol, its initial scope points to Chinese member group." Therefore, when ZigBee is in the process of landing in China, several Chinese benchmarking companies with industrial chain sample significance provide strong support for the ZigBee industrial ecology:
From the level of smart home terminal equipment and its solution vendors, Ou Ruibo joined the ZigBee Alliance China Group as a director, and realized compatibility with the ZigBee protocol with its Zhijia 365 system (should be a cross-platform protocol and an interactive app). The smart home products (equipment) and its large-scale landing in the smart scenes of real estate, office, villas, etc. support the ZigBee protocol.
From the level of IoT operating system and chip component manufacturers, Alibaba joins the ZigBee Alliance China group as an ordinary member, and realizes compatibility with the ZigBee protocol with its operating system Yunos or cloud-on-chip YOC; NXP China Members join the ZigBee Alliance China group to support ZigBee 3.0 with its chips.
From the perspective of the IoT cloud-pipe-end "full connection", Huawei joined the ZigBee Alliance China group as a director, at least with its cross-platform protocol hilink to achieve ZigBee compatibility.
The bulk of the ZigBee applicationIn addition to the strong support of China's benchmarking companies, the ZigBee industrial ecology is also derived from the spontaneous participation of various application developers (vendors) in the Chinese industrial chain.
In terms of scale alone, the number of Chinese application developers (vendors) is unparalleled in the global industry chain.
According to incomplete statistics, although the ZigBee Alliance has only 400+ members worldwide, there are at least 1,000 non-registered enterprise developers or informal partners in the Chinese industry chain.
Prior to this, ZigBee and Thread, Weave, WiFi, Z-Wave, Bultooth, Mesh, NFC, UWB and other short-range wireless communication protocols have experienced multiple rounds of game in many industrial fields, and the advantages and disadvantages of each agreement Its application field has gone through repeated verification to its own destiny.
Basically, protocols such as Bultooth, Mesh, NFC, and UWB have long been marginalized, except in specific application areas and their application scenarios; WiFi and Z-Wave will still exist as supplementary protocols, but their limitations are unlikely to advance. For the mainstream IoT short-distance protocol; although Weave has a strong background, there is little time left to form an industrial ecology; Thread and ZigBee have announced cooperation, Thread and ZigBee are actually interconnected.
