IPv6 based Internet of things
Zigbee releases spec for IPv6-based wireless mesh networks
According to Tobin Richardson, chairman and CEO of the ZigBee Alliance, 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.
He said the ZigBee IP specification builds on the current IEEE 802.15.4 standard by adding network and security layers and an application framework. It incorporates a scalable architecture with end-to-end IPv6 networking, laying the foundation for an Internet of Things without the need for intermediate gateways.
