--ZigBee Certified Platforms: With the addition of a newly certified ZCP from RadioPulse in Korea, the Alliance offers 13 ZCPs and the most robust supply chain of platforms for original equipment manufacturers investigating choices for new ZigBee products. ZigBee Compliant Platforms include the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields.  802.15.4 radio and the ZigBee stack up to the application layer and will be available as either chips or modules.

--Developers Kits: Shipments of ZigBee Developer Kits continue to accelerate and with more than 10,000 develop kits sold, estimates show that ZigBee Alliance member companies have trained thousands of engineers.
