ZigBee發布基于IPv6的無線網絡標準
March 28, 2013 - The ZigBee Alliance announced the completion and public availability of its third specification, ZigBee IP. ZigBee IP is the first open standard for an IPv6-based full wireless mesh networking solution and provides seamless Internet connections to control low-power, low-cost devices. A free public webinar hosted by industry experts will discuss the unique capabilities of ZigBee IP on April 3.
3月28日消息——ZigBee 聯盟宣布，第三套規范ZigBee IP 已開發完成并向公眾推出。ZigBee IP 是第一個基于 IPv6 全無線篩狀網絡解決方案的開放標準，為控制低功耗、低成本的裝置提供無縫銜接的互聯網連接。行業專家將于4月3日舉行一個免費的公眾網絡研討會，共同探討 ZigBee IP 的獨特功能。
ZigBee IP specification enriches the IEEE 802.15.4 standard by adding network and security layers and an application framework. ZigBee IP offers a scalable architecture with end-to-end IPv6 networking, laying the foundation for an Internet of Things without the need for intermediate gateways. It offers cost-effective and energy-efficient wireless mesh network based on standard Internet protocols, such as 6LoWPAN, IPv6, PANA, RPL, TCP, TLS and UDP. It also features proven, end-to-end security using TLS1.2 protocol, link layer frame security based on AES-128-CCM algorithm and support for public key infrastructure using standard X.509 v3 certificates and ECC-256 cipher suite.
ZigBee IP 規范加入了網絡層和安全層及應用框架，使 IEEE 802.15.4 標準更加完善。ZigBee IP 提供了一個具有端到端 IPv6 聯網能力的可擴展架構，無需使用中間網關，從而為物聯網的發展奠定了基礎。該規范依據 6LoWPAN、IPv6、PANA、RPL、TCP，TLS 和 UDP 等標準互聯網協議提供低成本、高效節能的無線篩狀網絡。它還具有采用 TLS1.2 協議來保證的成熟的端到端安全性，使用 AES-128-CCM 算法來保證鏈路層數據幀的安全性，并通過標準 X.509 v3 證書和 ECC-256 加密套件為關鍵的公共基礎設施提供支持。
“ZigBee IP offers a significant step forward in the expansion of IP-based control,” said Mark Grazier, marketing manager and ZigBee board member, Wireless Connectivity Solutions, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI). “Having low-power, low-cost wireless mesh devices that connect to a variety of Smart Grid IPv6-based protocols will further expand the Internet of Things.”
ZigBee 理事會成員、德州儀器公司(TI) 無線連接解決方案營銷經理 Mark Grazier 表示：“ZigBee IP對擴大基于 IP 的控制又邁出了重要一步。利用低功耗、低成本的無線篩狀裝置連接各種智能電網基于IPv6 的協議，將有利于物聯網的進一步發展。”
ZigBee IP continues the ZigBee tradition of self-organizing and self-healing mesh networking to enable robust communications over the globally available 2.4 GHz frequency as well as over the 868/915/920 MHz frequencies in select countries.
ZigBee IP 延續了 ZigBee 自我組織和自我修復篩狀網絡的傳統，通過全球通行的 2.4 GHz 頻率和部分國家的 868/915/920 MHz 頻率來打造可靠的通信服務。
“ZigBee IP provides another option for product manufacturers to add mesh networking to their products,” said Tobin Richardson, chairman and CEO of the ZigBee Alliance. “We expect to see a wave of ZigBee Certified products based on ZigBee IP when Smart Energy Profile 2 is completed later this year since ZigBee IP was designed specifically to meet SEP2 requirements for the Smart Grid.”
ZigBee 聯盟總裁兼首席執行官 Tobin Richardson 表示：“ZigBee IP讓產品制造商可以用另一種方法來將篩狀網絡添加到他們的產品中。Smart Energy Profile 2（SEP2）將于今年晚些時候推出，我們預期屆時基于 ZigBee IP 的 ZigBee 認證產品將掀起一股熱潮，因為ZigBee IP 是專門為智能電網滿足SEP2要求而設計的。”
Exegin, Silicon Labs and Texas Instruments provided Golden Units against which all future ZigBee Certified products using the ZigBee IP specification will be tested. This testing process ensures compliance with the specification so that manufacturers can be assured of consistent communications. Grid2Home and Sensinode achieved ZigBee Compliant platform status. Testing services were provided by NTS, TRaC and TÜV Rheinland.
Exegin、SilIcon Labs和德州儀器提供了“黃金單元”的規范產品，未來采用 ZigBee IP 規格的所有 ZigBee 認證產品將以此為參照進行測試。該測試流程確保產品符合規格，這樣制造商大可對通信的一致性放心。Grid2Home和Sensinode 達到了ZigBee合規平臺的資格標準。測試服務由 NTS、TRaC 和 TUV Rheinland提供。
