1.1 Typical Networks
The JN516x-EK001 Evaluation Kit can be used as a platform for developing a wide
range of wireless network applications, where these applications run on JN516x
devices embedded in the network nodes. Example networks are:

A simple point-to-point network consisting of only two nodes - for a example, a
wireless radio link between a remote control unit and a media player (e.g. using
the ZigBee RF4CE protocol)

A wireless network consisting of many nodes - for example, a wirelessly
controlled heating system in a building (e.g. using a ZigBee PRO profile)

A wireless network with IP connectivity - for example, a wirelessly controlled
home lighting system that can also be accessed from the Internet (e.g. using
the JenNet-IP protocol)
The supported wireless network protocols are more fully introduced in Chapter 4 .
