Introduction of ZigBee
What is ZigBee?
ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using
small, low-power digital radios based on an IEEE 802.15.4 standard for personal
area networks. ZigBee devices are often used in mesh network form to transmit
data over longer distances, passing data through intermediate devices to reach
more distant ones. This allows ZigBee networks to be formed ad-hoc, with no
centralized control or high-power transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the
devices. Any ZigBee device can be tasked with running the network.
ZigBee Application
ZigBee is targeted at applications that require a low data rate, long battery life,
and secure networking. ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for
periodic or intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input
device. Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with
in-home-displays, traffic management systems, and other consumer and
industrial equipment that requires short-range wireless transfer of data at
relatively low rates. The technology defined by the ZigBee specification is
intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs.
