The ZigBee Alliance is expanding into the telecom market with a new initiative extending mobile telephone networks while providing new capabilities for mobile phone users.
The new ZigBee Telecom Profile is designed to feature secure mobile payment, information delivery, health care monitoring, peer-to-peer small data sharing and other location based services and features.
ZigBee mobile devices include mobile telephones and personal digital assistants with embedded ZigBee technology or using a ZigBee subscriber identity module (SIM) card.
These devices act as a mobile terminal and/or as a sensor control device anywhere there is a ZigBee network or ZigBee access point.
Pantech&Curitel showcases world first Zigbee phone at Zigbee Alliance Festival. Zigbee is one of the wireless data transmission solutions with home networking automation function. Korea’s Korwin and Orange Logic share its credit in the development – home networking and location based services(LBS) respectively.
The festival was hosted by Zigbee Alliance, an association of companies working together toward future Zigbee products on global standard. At the ceremony, Pantech&Curitel exhibits the world’s first Zigbee-applied mobile phone.
According to Mi-Hyang Han, a person in charge at Pantech&Curitel, “The worldwide IT industry is progressing toward wireless ubiquitous environments. A mobile phone, becoming more like a commodity, is likely to be a hub of upcoming ubiquitous era.”
Zigbee technology, for example, makes it possible to control the home network. At the festival, the Zigbee-applied P1 of Pantech&Curitel will demonstrate intellectual home/building networking service such as controlling electrical appliances, alarming mail receiving, checking temperature and humidity, sending mobile messages to alarm in case of trespass.
