Emerging Standards: Where does ZigBee fit
[attachment=27253]
What is the ZigBee Alliance
An Organization with a mission to define reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard
Alliance provides
upper layer stack and application profiles
compliance and certification testing
branding
Result is a set of interoperable solutions recognizable in the market
Why do we need ZigBee technology
No standard approach today that addresses the unique needs of most remote monitoring and control applications
Enables the broad-based deployment of reliable wireless networks with low complexity, low cost solutions
Provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive primary batteries for a typical monitoring application
Capable of inexpensively supporting robust mesh networking technologies
Protocol Stack Features
End developer applications, designed using application profiles
Channel access, PAN maintenance, reliable data transport
Transmission & reception on the physical radio channel
