Daintree Networks with ZigBee, Teaming Up to Certify Smart Energy

Daintree speeds the ZigBee Certification process, getting products to market faster.

The world is facing astounding population growth with our current population at 6.6 billion and a forecast of 9.2 billion people on the earth by the year 2050. With this huge population growth comes an unprecedented demand for energy. This challenge has utilities initiating new business plans and strategies that will address energy needs not for just five or 10 years, but 50 years down the road. One such strategy is the implementation of standards-based, certified systems that provide for smarter, more efficient energy use.

While many companies can offer utilities products providing energy efficiency, only those companies who offer certified products and systems built to a global standard are becoming a part of the utilities’ business plan. Certified products and systems provide utilities the assurance of interoperability and reliability – key elements to longevity. LS Industrial Systems is one such company that provides utilities in the U.S. with a ZigBee Smart Energy product through their ZigBee® certified LK Series Electric Meters

As a member of the ZigBee Alliance, LS Industrial Systems, an LG company, clearly knew the benefits ZigBee Certified products bring to the table. They began their ZigBee certification process with the help of another ZigBee member, Daintree Networks, a leading provider of tools for developing, testing, commissioning, and maintaining ZigBee devices and networks. “Daintree was instrumental in helping us achieve ZigBee Smart Energy certification for our LK Series Electric Meters,” said Jeongjoon Lee, LS Industrial Systems program manager. Lee added, “As you can imagine, there is a great deal of work involved in getting a ZigBee product certified. The SNA was like another member of the team, providing expert analysis and troubleshooting and reducing the workload on the rest of us. Daintree’s support team also provided the assistance we needed to ensure we would succeed with certification.”
