Z-Wave Alliance Standards Development Organization (SDO)

We’re excited to share that the Z-Wave Alliance is now a fully formed SDO!

In December 2019, Z-Wave Alliance, along with Z-Wave silicon provider Silicon Labs, announced they would open the Z-Wave network layer and communication protocol for the Z-Wave Specification and shift the role of the Alliance to that of a Standards Development Organization (SDO). The released specification will become a ratified multi-source wireless standard that is available to all silicon and software stack vendors for development.

Since its inception, Z-Wave has stood as a leader in the wireless protocol segment, with a robust certification program, security standards that are among the most rigorous in the industry, and an Alliance comprised of a diverse group of manufacturers, integrators, and more. We look forward to continuing to serve our members.
