Firstly, from the latest presentation, Xped's solution (ADRC and Xped XIP) can support the following communication protocols:-
WiFi
Bluetooth
(we have yet to know about Bluetooth 5 and mesh network for ADRC or Xped XIP - but we were made known in the previous announcement that this was being worked at then. Bluetooth Asia 2017 talks a lot about mesh network.)
Zigbee
Z-Wave
Near Field Communication (NFC)
DiscoverBus
IoTivity (as I posted earlier - one of the lotivity specifications is Intel Quark)

"The TLSR8269 combines the radio frequency (RF), digital processing, protocols stack software and profiles for Bluetooth Smart, BLE Mesh, 6LoWPAN, Thread, Zigbee, RF4CE, HomeKit and 2.4GHz proprietary standard support in a single SoC.
I will have my choice of which protocol I want to use for my globes. I will pick 1 of them
Bluetooth Smart BLE Mesh 6LoWPAN Thread Zigbee RF4CE HomeKit 2.4GHz proprietary standard
OR ADRC.
If the requestor chooses ADRC then the Xped app will work because ADRC will be enabled in the globe.
If they choose ZigBee......then it most likely will not work with the Xped app unless they have coded for it
If they choose any of the above protocols as listed by you which if you read it word for word with your first paragraph, it is as what Telink's chip TLSR8269 can work with, it will work as ADRC has been ported onto TLSR8269.
It has been written in the Article in Telink's website on compatibility with Zigbee 3.0 - Telink's chips TLSR8269 and TLSR8255 (posted by me earlier).

"My understanding of the Raisebook says that they will have "proprietary hardware" releasing in Oct. That means they will have devices using ADRC available to sell. Sensors or something of that nature I imagine.
Raisebook
XPED SMART BUILDINGS – COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS
Proprietary range of IoT devices – ADRC/DiscoverBus (Designed and Licensed by Xped) commercially ready by Oct-17
Sold through Vital Xense (Singapore partner) & Xped BD
Yea, stated in Raisebook where Xped Smart Buildings - Commercial & Industrial Solutions is, the proprietary range of IoT devices - ADRC/DiscoverBus will be commercially ready by Oct 2017.
The investor presentation was annexed to the Raisebook. Hence, we will have more communication protocols other than ADRC/DiscoverBus (which is for Xped Smart Buildings - Commercial & Industrial Solutions).

"My other understanding is that they are changing their Xped app to work with NON-ADRC devices already in the market place. I'm not sure which devices but obviously the ones they already are working on. Either way...its not ADRC based for these and they will likely release an app like Gideon or Yonomi did to control them. Both of those products are free currently. So I am not expecting any revenue generated by the freebie app to come."
They are not changing. They are having another option for Non-ADRC devices to capture other big IoT markets using other communication protocols like Zigbee via Telink's chip TLSR8269 and probably/maybe via other Telink's chips (we will wait for further announcement).
