According to media reports, on October 20th International ZigBee Alliance Chairman & CEO Tobin JM Richardson issued a notice to more than 400 members of the world, a Chinese company "Nanjing IOT" under the name of the ZigBee Alliance and publicly declared that "products have been ZigBee certified" False malicious propaganda for global notification.
The Nanjing IOT official officially responded to this on October 24, and issued a "Declaration on the ZigBee Alliance Chairman's notification email."
In this statement, Nanjing IOT first stated that IOT is the legal holder of the “ZIGBEE†trademark (category 7 and class 11) approved by the State Trademark Office. At the same time, the foreign products of the company have been investigated for the legality of the “ZIGBEE†trademark, and the company that violates the Chinese trademark law will retain the right to pursue the lawsuit.
As for the content blamed in the mail, Nanjing IOT said that the company has never promoted the products of the company and passed the certification of the US ZigBee Alliance. It is a fact that the ZigBee Alliance of the United States has established the "ZigBee Alliance China Regional Headquarters" in the Shanghai branch of the Internet of Things. The company has never claimed to represent the US ZigBee Alliance on any occasion, and only used the "ZigBee Alliance" in some promotional materials. China Regional Headquarters.
The Nanjing IOT’s statement shows the enthusiasm of this Chinese company. Although many of the actions of the alliance are un shameful, Nanjing IOT still maintains a responsible attitude towards the smart home industry, reminding the Alliance and its member companies. Together, we will promote technology to let more people know the advantages of ZigBee in smart home applications, so as to seize the market. I don't want to hinder the advancement and development of ZigBee technology because of this. This measure is enough to prove that Nanjing IOT is a visionary enterprise.
But why does the Nanjing Federation of Things say so, and even so solemnly remind the Alliance? Let's take a look at the various ZigBee.
Since the birth of ZigBee, home automation has been the main application direction. ZigBee is known for its low power consumption and networking advantages. ZigBee technology uses a very low power design. In theory, a battery can be used for more than 10 years. In practice, a battery can be used for about 2 years. This low-power technology makes it widely used in smart home applications, including Intelligent door locks, infrared transponders, temperature and humidity, and other types of sensors are easy to use. The strong networking capability is expressed in the following. In theory, a ZigBee gateway can connect more than 65,000 devices. Currently, it can form a stable network of more than 100 devices in practical applications. Such a network scale is far superior to technologies such as WiFi and Bluetooth. This makes many people think that ZigBee, which is the latecomer, will replace WIFI and Bluetooth.
However, ZigBee's products are still rare. The main reason is that product development is difficult, the development cycle is long, and the product cost is high. It is difficult for general startups to withstand development risks. This is also the fact that ZigBee technology is currently only available in a few companies around the world. important reason.
As a result, ZigBee's competitive advantage is relatively weak compared to the popularity of WiFi and Bluetooth. On the other hand, the promotion of the ZigBee Alliance in China is not big enough. Xiaobian noticed that this exposure email shows that there are currently more than 400 alliance members in the ZigBee Alliance.
Xiaobian found a screenshot of a set of data that ZigBee official website published in 2012.
It can be clearly seen in the picture that in 2010, there were more than 400 members of the ZigBee Alliance. However, this number has not been updated in 2011 and 2012. As of 2012, only more than 600 ZigBee products have been certified. According to this calculation, there is no substantial increase in the number of alliance members between 2010 and 2014. The ZigBee Alliance has developed 400 members in more than a decade, and the Bluetooth Alliance reached this scale in its inception.
From 2010 to 2014, the smart home industry was the fastest growing time, and ZigBee Alliance members did not grow significantly, which is a deep thought. At the same time, it is not difficult to see that the promotion of the ZigBee Alliance is a big problem. The ZigBee Alliance has an unshirkable responsibility. This incident, who is right and who is wrong, can be imagined. For ZigBee, Xiao Bian still advises the Alliance to work together with the company. Of course, the chairman of the league is not so good. If you only pay attention to the money received by the members, if you don’t do anything, you can’t think about sitting in the chair.
