Recently the RF4CE Alliance got itself adopted by the ZigBee Alliance, a clear example of a win-win situation. For the RF4CE Alliance it means an immediate broad adoption in the consumer electronics industry, while avoiding the cost of setting up a “marketing machine” to achieve this. For the ZigBee Alliance this is a brilliant move into a direction that will make it flourish. For the consumer electronics market, and in particular for the end-customers, this adoption is a clear stake in the ground that opens up opportunities for a wide range of new and interesting applications. In 1999, the ZigBee Alliance was spun off from the IEEE 802.11 organization (maybe better known as the Wi-Fi Alliance). The original goal was to establish and promote ZigBee as a simpler equivalent of Wi-Fi targeted for smaller embedded microprocessors. Link
