ZigBee releases standard for IPv6-Based Wireless Networks

ZigBee發(fā)布基于IPv6的無(wú)線(xiàn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)

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(lián)盟宣布，第三套規(guī)范ZigBee IP 已開(kāi)發(fā)完成并向公眾推出。ZigBee IP 是第一個(gè)基于 IPv6 全無(wú)線(xiàn)篩狀網(wǎng)絡(luò)解決方案的開(kāi)放標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，為控制低功耗、低成本的裝置提供無(wú)縫銜接的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)連接。行業(yè)專(zhuān)家將于4月3日舉行一個(gè)免費(fèi)的公眾網(wǎng)絡(luò)研討會(huì)，共同探討 ZigBee IP 的獨(dú)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(guī)范加入了網(wǎng)絡(luò)層和安全層及應(yīng)用框架，使 IEEE 802.15.4 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)更加完善。ZigBee IP 提供了一個(gè)具有端到端 IPv6 聯(lián)網(wǎng)能力的可擴(kuò)展架構(gòu)，無(wú)需使用中間網(wǎng)關(guān)，從而為物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的發(fā)展奠定了基礎(chǔ)。該規(guī)范依據(jù) 6LoWPAN、IPv6、PANA、RPL、TCP，TLS 和 UDP 等標(biāo)準(zhǔn)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)協(xié)議提供低成本、高效節(jié)能的無(wú)線(xiàn)篩狀網(wǎng)絡(luò)。它還具有采用 TLS1.2 協(xié)議來(lái)保證的成熟的端到端安全性，使用 AES-128-CCM 算法來(lái)保證鏈路層數(shù)據(jù)幀的安全性，并通過(guò)標(biāo)準(zhǔn) X.509 v3 證書(shū)和 ECC-256 加密套件為關(guān)鍵的公共基礎(chǔ)設(shè)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(huì)成員、德州儀器公司(TI) 無(wú)線(xiàn)連接解決方案營(yíng)銷(xiāo)經(jīng)理 Mark Grazier 表示：“ZigBee IP對(duì)擴(kuò)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(wú)線(xiàn)篩狀裝置連接各種智能電網(wǎng)基于IPv6 的協(xié)議，將有利于物聯(lián)網(wǎng)的進(jìn)一步發(fā)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(xù)了 ZigBee 自我組織和自我修復(fù)篩狀網(wǎng)絡(luò)的傳統(tǒng)，通過(guò)全球通行的 2.4 GHz 頻率和部分國(guó)家的 868/915/920 MHz 頻率來(lái)打造可靠的通信服務(wù)。

“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(lián)盟總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官 Tobin Richardson 表示：“ZigBee IP讓產(chǎn)品制造商可以用另一種方法來(lái)將篩狀網(wǎng)絡(luò)添加到他們的產(chǎn)品中。Smart Energy Profile 2（SEP2）將于今年晚些時(shí)候推出，我們預(yù)期屆時(shí)基于 ZigBee IP 的 ZigBee 認(rèn)證產(chǎn)品將掀起一股熱潮，因?yàn)閆igBee IP 是專(zhuān)門(mén)為智能電網(wǎng)滿(mǎn)足SEP2要求而設(shè)計(jì)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(guī)范產(chǎn)品，未來(lái)采用 ZigBee IP 規(guī)格的所有 ZigBee 認(rèn)證產(chǎn)品將以此為參照進(jìn)行測(cè)試。該測(cè)試流程確保產(chǎn)品符合規(guī)格，這樣制造商大可對(duì)通信的一致性放心。Grid2Home和Sensinode 達(dá)到了ZigBee合規(guī)平臺(tái)的資格標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。測(cè)試服務(wù)由 NTS、TRaC 和 TUV Rheinland提供。
