The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) has announced the opening of product certification for Suzi, the sub-gigahertz (sub-GHz) extension to the Zigbee wireless Internet of Things (IoT) communications standard.

"This milestone marks a significant step forward in enabling the industry to bring standardized long-range, low-power, and interoperable IoT products to market, backed by the trusted Zigbee ecosystem," a CSA spokesperson says of the certification program's opening. "Zigbee has long been the foundation of reliable, secure, and low-power mesh networking. With the addition of Suzi, the technology evolves into a platform designed for larger, more complex, and more demanding IoT deployments."

Unveiled by the CSA back in November last yearas part of the Zigbee 4.0 update, Suzi takes Zigbee out of its traditional 2.4GHz radio spectrum into the sub-gigazhertz bands — delivering higher penetration in buildings and longer range transmission in general, though at the cost of reduced data throughput.
