Two of the leading silicon providers, Silicon Labs and Trident IoT, have both achieved Z-Wave Protocol Certification, a standard established by the Z-Wave Alliance that’s designed to ensure a seamless user experience when it comes to product that runs on the Z-Wave protocol.

As the silicon solution providers that support the Z-Wave ecosystem, achieving this certification means that product developed by Silicon Labs and Trident IoT and those that leverage their silicon, maintain the required levels of interoperability, heightened security, and continued innovation across the Z-Wave portfolio of product.
“The achievements by Trident IoT and Silicon Labs mark significant milestones, reinforcing the strength and versatility of the Z-Wave ecosystem,” Z-Wave Alliance Board Chair Avi Rosenthal said in a statement announcing the news. “By taking the necessary steps to certify their solutions, these companies now provide manufacturers and developers with essential tools for accelerating smart home and IoT innovation.”
A brand founded by longtime IoT industry veterans, Trident IoT maintains a focus on developing product specifically tailored to the Z-Wave ecosystem.
“Achieving Z-Wave Alliance certification for our semiconductor solutions and SDK is a testament to our dedication to quality, interoperability, and developer empowerment,” Mariusz Malkowski, CTO at Trident IoT, said in a statement. “This milestone enables our partners to confidently accelerate their time-to-market with fully certifiable and innovative Z-Wave products.”
Silicon Labs, a leading brand that develops low-power wireless solutions, builds upon an extensive history of Z-Wave innovation with its certification achievement.
“When Silicon Labs made the strategic decision to open Z-Wave technology up to the community in the name of open-source advancement, the goal was always to drive member contribution, broader adoption, and strengthen the ecosystem,” Abitzen Xavier, Staff Product Manager for Proprietary & Z-Wave at Silicon Labs, said in the statement. “Z-Wave continues to be a leading platform in the smart home and beyond. Silicon Labs is pleased to provide this new certification and its accompanying enhancements to help our customers continue to build secure, reliable, and interoperable Z-Wave devices.”To learn more about the Z-Wave Protocol Certification, head to the Z-Wave Alliance website.
