Answer»
- Industry leaders worldwide have committed to providing ZigBee-compliant products and solutions. Member companies include 13 promoters (BM Group, EMBER, Free scale, Honeywell, Huawei, Mitsubishi Electric, Motorola, Philips, Samsung, Schneider Electric, Siemens, STMicroelectronics, and Texas Instruments) and participants that comprise SEMICONDUCTOR manufacturers, wireless intellectual property providers and OEMS.
- Until recently the ZigBee Alliance used to be dominated by semiconductor manufacturers and technology providers. Since 2006 large OEMs like Siemens and Schneider Electric have JOINED the BOARD of Directors. They are expected to bring to the Alliance a more application-centric focus, which will be instrumental in achieving the promise of product and vendor interoperability.
- Although the ZigBee Alliance used to be so far very US-centric, membership has significantly grown in Europe and Asia. Supporting companies are now spread all over the world.
