DSR Supports Zigbee Direct

January 25, 2023

DSR is thrilled to announce we support Zigbee Direct. Zigbee Direct is a new Zigbee feature released by the Connectivity Standards Alliance, which enables communication with Zigbee Devices through a Bluetooth interface, like a mobile phone or smart speaker. With Zigbee Direct, connectivity between devices, users and the Zigbee network is made simple.

DSR supports Zigbee Direct by providing exclusive solutions and industry-leading Zigbee expertise at every stage of the product experience. DSR’s Zigbee Direct solutions are production and certification ready, easily portable to any platform and are based on our market-proven ZBOSS Zigbee stack.

Zigbee Direct is comprised of two device types: the Zigbee Direct Device and Zigbee Virtual Device. The Zigbee Direct Device contains both 802.15.4 and Bluetooth radios, allowing it to serve as a communication bridge between The Zigbee Network and the Zigbee Virtual Device, which is a Bluetooth-enabled device.
