Z-Wave Converges With TCP/IP To Create A New Global Standard
|
| (May 16, 2007) |
Zensys, developer of the award-winning Z-Wave wireless home control standard, today announced the Z/IP program to drive convergence of Z-Wave and TCP/IP while simultaneously beginning to license Z-Wave to other chip manufacturers.
“Given the continued success and market adoption of interoperable Z-Wave solutions, we are launching the Z/IP program to take Z-Wave to the next level of worldwide adoption,” said Tony Shakib, CEO of Zensys. “In order to accomplish this we are making two significant advances – converging Z-Wave with TCP/IP to embrace the larger user community, and licensing the Z-Wave protocol to other silicon manufacturers.”
By converging Z-Wave with TCP/IP, Zensys will enable standard based end-to-end home control networks and applications from anywhere on the Internet all the way into sensor networks. It will allow for the use of TCP/IP technology and knowledge in new applications directly on low cost, low power devices. As with all previous Z-Wave protocol advances, Z/IP will remain backwards compatible with existing Z-Wave products while adding compliant TCP/IP services to Z-Wave nodes and will allow the use of proven Z-Wave device and command classes in TCP/IP networks.
“We are witnessing a major shift in the home control space right now away from proprietary-only based home control solutions towards IP-based systems and those that interface with IP-based devices," stated Bill Ablondi, director of home systems research for Parks Associates. “Z-Wave is one of the recognized leaders in technology for wireless home control and this development will only add to its appeal for the companies around the world that will drive the next generation of home control systems.”
