Telits in-house-developed software stack received certification for full compliance to standard version 1.1 for device classes Home Display and Energy Service Interface.

ZigBee devices provide two-way communication and data transmission while not being subject to recurring air-time charges within the local environment as in the case of cellular wireless data. Achieving this certification indicates that the Telit stack was found to be fully compliant to specifications from the ZigBee Alliance.

The ZigBee product line from Telit is augmented by its other lines in cellular and GPS technology, and by a full complement of value added services including global cellular connectivity. These are all necessary components that need to be come together in bringing solutions to the fast growing Smart-X market.
