Description:

The Zigbee Alliance is now the Connectivity Standards Alliance – representing a fresh approach to bold collaboration. That s what we re here to do. We just might be the luckiest folks in the IoT industry, working with the best and brightest from hundreds of companies worldwide across the IoT value chain. Like you, we have a passion for making an impact, rolling up our sleeves and working as peers and collaborators to help make the promise of the IoT a reality today.The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) is the place where industry professionals across the globe come together, paving the way to a world of seamless interaction that is transforming the way we live, work and play. We believe all objects can work together to enhance our day-to-day experiences, and together we create the standards, tools and platforms which make this possible. Take on a challenging goal like ensuring more compatibility and less confusion in IoT product choices? You bet, we’re up for that! Get industry competitors to work side-by-side and hammer out standards together? Yes, that’s our jam!We have the audacious belief that open standards and open dialog are essential to delivering the great experiences consumers want, and the thriving competitive marketplace that makes great products possible.The Connectivity Standards Alliance guides the IoT forward by simplifying and harmonizing technology standards across the industry. By fostering unprecedented collaboration, we are building a better, more connected world together. We tackle head-on the barriers to IoT growth and adoption by creating standards that matter. Our library of protocols enable the seamless interoperability users crave, making truly connected environments in business, at home, and play a reality.Common standards are just good business: they reduce barriers to entry, helping any firm with a fresh idea bring their innovative solution to market quickly. That’s a win-win for consumers, the economy, and our competitive juices!With an unwavering focus on the fundamentals of security, privacy, inclusivity, equity and openness, we help ensure everyone enjoys increasingly greater value from the IoT. Over 350 companies across the globe, spanning the entire IoT value chain, are actively involved in the Connectivity Standards Alliance. If you share our passion for shaping the future of the IoT, please join us today! It’s been 50 years since we first landed on the moon – isn’t it time the IoT just worked?Yes … yes it should. And the work we do together embraces big, bold goals on the scale of interplanetary exploration, or even cross-platform product interoperability. In fact, NASA’s 2021 Mars mission actually used one of our technologies to enable communications between the Perseverance rover and the Ingenuity drone. If Alliance technologies work for a mission to Mars, we think our technologies are powerful enough to manage devices here on Earth.Of course, a mission to Mars may only occur once in a lifetime. But “going to Mars” represents the way we think and how we bring all types of companies together, working collaboratively to build powerful, useful, transformative standards every day.Our approach resonates globally. The World Economic Forum (WEF), an independent non-profit organization based in Geneva, Switzerland engages the foremost political, business, cultural and other leaders to shape global, regional and industry agendas. We’re proud to have a seat on the WEF’s Council on the Connected World, as their goals of strengthening global governance, collaboration, equity and trust are so tightly aligned with our own mission and vision in driving the future of the IoT today.Our commitment to inclusivity and equitable access to IoT reverberates widely. Alliance members come together from across industries and around the world to transform the future of connectivity. Together, we’re doing great things.
