The ZigBee Alliance

What is 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.

Joining the ZigBee Alliance

There are three levels of membership in the ZigBee Alliance with different entitlements:

Adopter ($3,500USD/year): Offers access to final, approved specifications,

use of the ZigBee Alliance logo, participation in interoperability events, and access to application Profile Task Group documents and activities.

Participant ($9,500USD/year):Offers full participation in ZigBee Alliance

working groups and member meetings, ability to earn voting rights in work groups, and early access to ZigBee Alliance specification.

Promoter: ($50,000USD/year) Offers automatic voting rights in all working

groups, final approval rights on all specifications, and a seat on the Alliance Board of Directors

Membership Policy

For more details, see the

ZigBee Membership, Designations and Logos Policy

on the ZigBee website

‹ In order to use any ZigBee Alliance intellectual property for any commercial purpose, users must be Alliance members …

‹ Companies and individuals who are not Alliance members are not permitted to use the ZigBee intellectual property for any commercial purposes. This includes the distribution of any free tools and products that promote the general business of the company. Furthermore, non-members are prohibited from using the ZigBee name, designations or logos in conjunction with product offerings.

‹ The ZigBee Specification is available free of charge to individuals, companies and institutions for all non-commercial purposes, including university research, technical evaluation, and development of

non-commercial software, tools, or documentation.

Certification and Compliance

Certification and Compliance

What are ZigBee Certified Products?

The ZigBee Alliance promotes the development of products that are fully compliant with the ZigBee standard. Through certification testing, you can ensure your products successfully co-exist or interoperate with other ZigBee Certified Products. ZigBee products are certified with either a Manufacturer Specific Application Profile or a Public Application Profile.

‹A Manufacturer Specific Application Profile is an application developed by a member.

‹A Public Application Profile is developed by the Alliance and is available to all members (HA or SE at this time).

Both Manufacturer Specific Application Profiles and Public Application Profiles must be implemented on ZigBee Compliant Platforms.

Note that ZigBee compliance testing does not include ETSI/FCC/ARIB testing. There are a number of test houses in this business.

Private Profiles

Private Profiles

Your Own Profile

‹ You can maintain ZigBee compliance without allowing others access to your network via a Manufacturer Specific

Application Profile

‹ Hundreds of Manufacturer Specific Application Profiles are already registered

‹ Public profiles, like the Home Automation Profile and Smart Energy allow interoperability between products

‹ Proprietary profiles are intended to limit interoperability at the application level, but can also limit network interoperability

‹ Profile IDs are distributed by the Alliance to members. You must request a profile ID for your proprietary profile

IEEE registers Organizationally Unique

Identifiers (OUI) world-wide. A subset

of these addresses is called Individual

Address Block (IAB).

OUI costs$1650 for 2^40 addresses

IAB costs $550 for 2^12 addresses

Note: An OUI allocates enough IEEE numbers to place more than 2000 devices on every square kilometer of land and sea on Earth.
