This exclusive event gives Alliance members the\nopportunity to network with companies across the industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Member Social sponsors, DSR Corporation\nand Somfy, are seasoned Zigbee Alliance members with years of experience in the\nIoT. They represent different places in the value chain and offer unique\nperspectives on what Zigbee and participation in the Alliance offers to their\nbottom lines. DSR Corporation, a professional software and product development\nfirm, and Somfy, a leading manufacturer of specialized motors and electronics&nbsp;for\nresidential and commercial window covering markets, share their insights into the importance of participating\nat CES 2020 and the reason they invest in Zigbee technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important for Zigbee Alliance members to be present at\nCES 2020?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DSR\nCorporation &#8211; CES is one of the biggest technology shows and companies from\naround the world attend. There is no better opportunity to meet with customers\nand partners, view latest trends, and develop business in one place. For Zigbee\nAlliance members, CES provides an opportunity to connect with the Zigbee\ncommunity, demonstrate innovation, and share their 2020 product roadmap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somfy\n&#8211; CES\nis a very special moment to share with customers, press, and the general public\nabout progress made by the smart home industry. Somfy will focus its Zigbee\noffering presentation at CES on two topics: the value Zigbee brings to our\nsmart shading offerings, for both our professional customers and end-users, and\nthe interoperability that dramatically extends the richness of our ecosystems\nright out of the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\ndoe<\/strong><strong>s&nbsp;membership in the Zigbee Alliance mean for your company?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DSR\nCorporation &#8211; Any company that is serious about using and promoting Zigbee\nshould be part of the Zigbee Alliance. For us, it\u2019s about contributing our\nknowledge and experience to the development and ongoing innovation of Zigbee\nand the IoT market. &nbsp;Access to the latest\nstandards, trends, as well as participation in working groups and other member\nactivities is another benefit of being a Zigbee Alliance member. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Somfy &#8211; The main reason Somfy chose to join the Zigbee Alliance is to contribute to the standard definition in such a way that our specific Window Covering-related use cases are handled in the most appropriate way for our customers to get the best out of their smart shades. We are also excited to weigh in on the Zigbee protocol promotion initiatives as we strongly believe that only through massive deployment of standards will end-users really harvest all the benefits from complete smart home ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\nare the benefits of using an open standard?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DSR\nCorporation &#8211; Open standards are the only way to holistically solve the\nchallenges of security, interoperability, and efficiency on the IoT market. It creates\na healthy environment for product development, allowing participation of multiple\nvendor companies and promotes functional, interoperable applications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somfy\n&#8211; Somfy\nhas been committed to openness with the \u201cSo Open with Somfy\u201d program. Openness\nis first and foremost about interoperability which is the main obstacle to\nsmart home massive adoption. Somfy strongly believe in collective efforts,\nparticularly when you bring together two devices from two different vendors in\nan ecosystem which allows them to fully and seamlessly interoperate, it\u2019s\nreally 1+1=3! Openness also means more robust and market-tested technology,\nbenefiting from the input and experience of many industry players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why\ndid your company choose Zigbee technology?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DSR\nCorporation &#8211; DSR has been working on Zigbee technology for over 10 years and\nits potential to standardize the IoT market has never been stronger. Look no\nfurther than the recent Project Connected Home over IP announcement. This\nreinforces Zigbee\u2019s lasting role in the future of IoT.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Somfy\n&#8211; Somfy\nchose to develop products with Zigbee and integrate the protocol in its\necosystem several years ago. Among the reasons were the strong industry\nfootprint, especially in interoperability and applications that are close to\nsmart shading (such as smart lighting), and the robust and proven underlying\ntechnology. Zigbee relying on a unique, worldwide 2.4 GHz frequency band was\nalso key in our decision, as Somfy operates in 57 countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Meet our Members at CES 2020:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Alliance members will be in attendance throughout CES 2020\ndemonstrating thousands of Zigbee products in booths across CES venues, as well\nas networking, meeting with business partners, and participating in a variety\nof events throughout the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be sure to check out <a href=\"https:\/\/zigbeealliance.org\/members\/\">our members<\/a> at CES 2020:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td>\n  Accenture\n  <\/td><td>\n  Panasonic\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  AduroSmart\n  <\/td><td>\n  Qingdao Hisense Smart Home Systems\n  Co.\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Alfred\n  <\/td><td>\n  Qorvo\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Amazon\n  <\/td><td>\n  Resideo\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Bosch\n  <\/td><td>\n  Sagemcom Broadband SAS\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Climax\n  <\/td><td>\n  Samsung\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Comcast\n  <\/td><td>\n  Schneider Electric\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Commax\n  <\/td><td>\n  Sengled\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Control4\n  <\/td><td>\n  SerComm Corporation\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  D-link\n  <\/td><td>\n  Shenzhen Tianqiao Science and\n  Technology Co., Ltd.\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Dekra\n  <\/td><td>\n  Siemens\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Delta Dore\n  <\/td><td>\n  Signify\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  DSR Corporation\n  <\/td><td>\n  Silicon Labs\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  EDF\n  <\/td><td>\n  Siterwell Electronics Co., Limited\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Enocean\n  <\/td><td>\n  Skyworks solutions\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Google\n  <\/td><td>\n  SMK Corporation\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Itron\n  <\/td><td>\n  Somfy\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Jasco\n  <\/td><td>\n  ST Microelectronics\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Kwikset\n  <\/td><td>\n  Toshiba\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Leedarson\n  <\/td><td>\n  Tuya\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Legrand\n  <\/td><td>\n  Universal Electronics Inc.\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Leviton\n  <\/td><td>\n  Verizon\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Lutron\n  <\/td><td>\n  Vision-Elec Technology Co., Ltd.\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Microchip\n  <\/td><td>\n  Volansys\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  MMB Networks\n  <\/td><td>\n  Wipro\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Nanoleaf\n  <\/td><td>\n  ZTE Corporation\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  Nordic Semiconductor\n  <\/td><td>\n  Yunding Network Technology &nbsp;\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  NXP Semiconductors\n  <\/td><td>\n  Jiangmen Hongli Energy &nbsp;\n  <\/td><\/tr><tr><td>\n  ON Semiconductor\n  <\/td><td>\n  &nbsp;\n  <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News from Zigbee Alliance Zigbee Alliance and its members advance innovation and collaboration throughout the IoT.
