SAN RAMON, Calif.-The ZigBee Alliance announced four ZigBee-compliant platforms from Chipcon, CompXs, Ember and Freescale Semiconductor Inc.
The alliance conducted testing of the platforms to ensure interoperability via its official test houses, National Technical Systems Inc. and TUV Rheinland. It also used analysis tools from Daintree Networks to conduct its evaluations.
The ZigBee Alliance ratified its specification in December and has been finalizing a formal compliance testing program for the ZigBee platform.
ZigBee-compliant platforms include IEEE 802.15.4 radios and ZigBee stack up to the application layer, and they will be available either as chips or modules for use in end products, said the Alliance.
The alliance said it plans to begin certification testing of end-user products based on these platforms during the next several months.
