Utilities worldwide have begun to optimize their product portfolios by selecting and utilizing products based on open standards. Products and services utilizing open standards reduce obsolescence risk while providing flexible, durable solutions. Since multiple companies participate in establishing open standards and ultimately create a variety of products, utilities are able to expand their vendor lists and product options thereby reducing overall risks related to dependency on one vendor. These same open standards, including ZigBee®, allow utilities and their customers to obtain higher quality, longer lasting products with lower pricing – all key differentiators in an industry now focused on eco- friendly, cost-conscious solutions.
