DSR Corporation announces that ON Semiconductor, a leading supplier of semiconductor-based solutions with an emphasis on energy efficiency, has joined the ZBOSS Open Initiative (ZOI), a community of companies with a shared understanding of the necessity to have a common Zigbee® PRO software platform to overcome, together, the challenges around interoperability, security, testing, and optimization of Zigbee-enabled products and solutions.
DENVER, Oct. 01, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- DSR Corporation announces that ON Semiconductor has joined the ZBOSS Open Initiative (ZOI), a community of companies with a shared understanding of the necessity of a common Zigbee® PRO software platform to overcome, together, the challenges around interoperability, security, testing, and optimization of Zigbee-enabled products and solutions.
As a member of ZOI, ON Semiconductor will have access to certified and stable ZBOSS source code, a Zigbee stack source code base, and insight into the implementation details. The member benefits also include the ability to submit "pull" and "new feature development" requests, access to verification testing and results, validate Zigbee Pro platform certifications, binaries use license with their product, and distribute source code passes to their clients.
Joining ZOI will provide customers of ON Semiconductor easy access to Zigbee development resources with transparency, speed, support, and increase the efficiency of the product certification process. Also, ON Semiconductor, and its customers, can keep current with the latest Zigbee standards as a member.
"Being a part of the ZOI community opens the door to many great benefits from accessing Zigbee stack source code, to hardware platform enablement, and support from the ecosystem. We can efficiently work with IoT market players to ensure interoperability and significantly reduce development time with the ZBOSS shared platform. Meanwhile, we will continue to innovate low-power, robust, integrated wireless communications devices for the IoT connectivity market," commented Simon Duxbury, vice president and general manager, Wireless Connectivity & Signal Processing Division at ON Semiconductor.
"We are focused on growing and developing ZOI to contribute real value to the future of the Zigbee Pro offering. We believe that collaboration between market players within the ZOI framework is key to overcoming, together, the common challenges in Zigbee Pro development. The addition of ON Semiconductor to the ZOI community symbolizes further major-market support for our new and unique business model," added Anatoli Pechkov, CEO of DSR Corporation.
