Njengoba nje abahlaziyi abaningi bebikezele, i-Internet of Things (IoT) isifikile, umbono obekulokhu kuyiphupho labathandi bezobuchwepheshe yonke indawo. Amabhizinisi nabathengi ngokufanayo baqaphela ngokushesha; bahlola amakhulu emikhiqizo ethi "ihlakaniphile" eyenzelwe amakhaya, amabhizinisi, abathengisi, izinsiza, ezolimo - uhlu luyaqhubeka. Umhlaba ulungiselela iqiniso elisha, indawo yesikhathi esizayo, ehlakaniphile enikeza induduzo, ukulula, kanye nokuvikeleka kwempilo yansuku zonke.

I-IoT kanye Nesikhathi Esidlule

Ngenxa yenjabulo enkulu ngokukhula kwe-IoT, kwafika inqwaba yezixazululo ezisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukuhlinzeka abathengi ngenethiwekhi engenantambo enembile kakhulu, esebenzisana nabanye ngangokunokwenzeka. Ngeshwa, lokhu kwaholela embonini ehlukene futhi edidekile, lapho izinkampani eziningi zilangazelela ukuletha imikhiqizo eqediwe emakethe esezingeni eliphezulu kodwa zingaqiniseki ukuthi iyiphi indinganiso, ezinye zakhetha eziningi, kanti ezinye zakha izixazululo zazo ezizimele ukuze zibhekane nezindinganiso ezintsha ezimemezela ukuqala kwazo cishe njalo ngenyanga.

Le nkambo yemvelo yokulingana, nakuba ingenakugwenywa, akuyona imiphumela yokugcina yemboni. Asikho isidingo sokulwa nokudideka, ukuqinisekisa imikhiqizo enezindinganiso eziningi zokuxhumana ezingenantambo ezixukwini umuntu azoyinqoba. I-ZigBee Alliance ibilokhu ithuthukisa amazinga e-IoT futhi iqinisekisa imikhiqizo esebenzisana iminyaka engaphezu kweyishumi, futhi ukukhuphuka kwe-IoT kwakhiwe esisekelweni esiqinile sezindinganiso ze-ZigBee zomhlaba wonke, ezivulekile, ezisungulwe futhi ezisekelwe amakhulu ezinkampani ezingamalungu.

IoT kanye Nesikhathi Samanje

I-ZigBee 3.0, isinyathelo esilindelwe kakhulu embonini ye-IoT, ukuhlanganiswa kwamaphrofayili amaningi ezicelo ze-ZigBee PRO athuthukiswe futhi aqiniswa eminyakeni eyi-12 edlule. I-ZigBee 3.0 ivumela ukuxhumana nokusebenzisana phakathi kwamadivayisi ezimakethe eziningi ze-IoT, futhi amakhulu ezinkampani ezingamalungu ezakha i-ZigBee Alliance bezilokhu zilangazelela ukuqinisekisa imikhiqizo yazo ngale ndlela. Ayikho enye inethiwekhi engenantambo ye-IoT enikeza ikhambi elifanayo elivulekile, lomhlaba wonke, nelisebenzisanayo.

I-ZigBee, i-IoT, kanye nekusasa

Muva nje, i-ON World ibike ukuthi ukuthunyelwa kwaminyaka yonke kwama-chipset e-IEEE 802.15.4 kucishe kwaphindeka kabili ngonyaka odlule, futhi babikezele ukuthi lokhu kuthunyelwa kuzokwanda ngamaphesenti angu-550 ngesikhathi se-nest five. Babikezela nokuthi amazinga e-ZigBee azosetshenziswa kweziyisishiyagalombili kweziyi-10 zalezi yunithi ngo-2020. Lona uchungechunge lwakamuva lwemibiko ebikezela ukukhula okukhulu kwemikhiqizo ye-ZigBee Certified eminyakeni embalwa ezayo. Njengoba iphesenti lemikhiqizo ye-IoT eqinisekiswe ngamazinga e-ZigBee landa, imboni izoqala ukuzwa i-IoT ethembekile nezinzile. Ngokwengeziwe, lokhu kukhuphuka kwe-IoT ehlangene kuzoletha isithembiso sezixazululo ezinobungani nabathengi, kuhlinzeke imakethe efinyeleleka kalula kubathengi, futhi ekugcineni kukhulule amandla aphelele okukhiqiza embonini.

Leli zwe lemikhiqizo esebenzisanayo lisendleleni; njengamanje amakhulu ezinkampani zamalungu e-ZigBee Alliance asebenza ekwakheni ikusasa lezindinganiso ze-ZigBee. Ngakho-ke joyina nathi, futhi nawe ungaqinisekisa imikhiqizo yakho ngezinga le-IoT lokuxhumana okungenantambo elisetshenziswa kakhulu emhlabeni.

UTobin usebenza njengoMongameli kanye ne-CEO ye-ZigBee Alliance, ehola imizamo ye-Alliance yokuthuthukisa nokukhuthaza amazinga e-IoT avulekile, ahamba phambili emhlabeni wonke. Kulo msebenzi, usebenzisana eduze neBhodi Yabaqondisi be-Alliance ukuze abeke isu kanye nokuthuthukisa ukwamukelwa kwamazinga e-ZigBee emhlabeni jikelele.
