Huawei believes that set up of Zigbee and other network standards is helping the development of the industry. “The Zigbee Alliance with its emphasis on interoperability, is an important access technology in smart home, smart lighting, smart building, and industrial vertical industries,” said David Hoelscher, IoT Marketing Director of Huawei Cloud Core Network Product Line. The idea of a large group of companies forming an alliance for certification and interoperability within the Zigbee access technology is a very important mover in the industry. David also added “Additionally, the initiative called Dotdot, to share standardized Zigbee Cluster Libraries to other access networks is very important to the industry development, and is very much in line with the concepts of Huawei’s OceanConnect IoT platform and ecosystem”.
