Silicon Labs and the Z-Wave Alliance announce plans to open the Z-Wave Specification as a ratified, multi-source wireless standard available to all silicon and stack vendors for development. With this change, semiconductor and software suppliers will be able to join the Z-Wave ecosystem, contribute to future advancements of the leading smart home standard and develop and supply sub-GHz Z-Wave radio devices and software stacks.

The Z-Wave Alliance will expand to a standards development organisation for the Z-Wave Specification and will continue to manage the Z-Wave Certification program, which will include software and hardware.
