Alliance Program Highlights
The Zhaga Consortium (Zhaga) and the Digital Illumination Interface Alliance (DiiA) are developing a joint certification program for interoperable luminaires and components, which enables intelligent, future-proof LED luminaires with IoT connectivity.
Zhaga is an open, global, lighting-industry alliance that is working to standardise LED lights and associated components, including LED modules and LED drivers. Their aim is to streamline the LED lighting supply chain and to simplify LED luminaire design and manufacturing.
Ahead of his appearance at IPWEA’s Street Lighting and Smart Controls (SLSC) Conference in Sydney on 2–4 April, Zhaga Secretary Dee Denteneer discussed the consortium’s goals and how it can benefit the industry.
Earlier this month, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) announced a new agreement with JD.com, China’s largest retailer, and the Quality Control Self-Disciplined Alliance of China Communications Industry Association (QCSDA of CCIA), China’s top industry organization comprised of mobile phone and accessories makers, professional testing institutions and scientific research institutes. The goal of this new cooperation is to ensure that Chinese consumers are able to quickly buy high-quality, compatible and safe wireless charging devices.

MIPI Previews Debug and Test Specifications at TestConX 2019
MIPI Alliance was well-represented at TestConX 2019, the premier conference on testing of integrated circuits, which took place in Mesa, Arizona, in early March. TestConX is in its 20th year and evolved from the BiTS (Burn-In & Test Strategies) Workshop to now include system-level testing and validation (hence, the name change).
