Zigbee

Robust, low-power mesh networks for smart homes and buildings.

What is Zigbee?

Zigbee® is a standards-based wireless mesh network used widely in building automation, lighting, smart city, medical and asset tracking. Our scalable Zigbee portfolio offers the lowest power mesh solutions enabling multi-year coin cell use or battery-less operation across industrial temperatures. We have been a promoter member of the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) for more than 10 years providing robust stack delivery with the latest standards.
