The ZigBee Alliance

The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard. The first ZigBee standard has been widely promoted and is finding application in low cost, low performance applications. In effect the Alliance are in competition with ISA SP100 in creating a useful standard for industrial use.
