Zigbee’s Wireless Network
New Wireless Technology
Every wireless technology available in the market serves a special purpose or function. Bluetooth and wireless USB provide short-range connectivity in a personal-area network (PAN). Bluetooth serves a short-range, moderate-speed, wire replacer, and wireless USB provides short-range, high-speed device connectivity. Wi-Fi is for local-area networks (LANs) and WiMAX is designed to provide wide-area networking (WAN) or metropolitan-area networking (MAN).
Zigbee technology yet fills up another gap in the wireless network. Unlike Bluetooth or wireless USB devices, ZigBee devices form a mesh or grid network between nodes. Meshing is a type of daisy chaining from one device to another. This technique allows the short range of an individual node to be expanded and multiplied, covering a much larger area. One ZigBee network can contain more than 65,000 nodes (active devices). The network they form in cooperation with each other may take the shape of a star, a branching tree or a net (mesh). What's more, each device can operate for years off of an AA cell. That means that each node uses very little power. To know more on Zigbee products log on to http://zigbee.eu.com
Although Zigbee standard development is still under progress, the Zigbee market is opened for various applications. The most promising are home automation, office automation, environment checks, and personal health and fitness monitoring.
Strong growth in wireless sensors area will help fuel the growth of Zigbee. Harbor Research reports that by 2008, 100 million sensors will be in use and On World reports that by 2010, more than 500 million nodes will ship for wireless sensor applications.
ZigBee networks provide smart, low-cost, low-power, low-maintenance monitoring and control systems.
To learn more about ZigBee technology, visit the ZigBee Alliance Website http://www.zigbee.org. The Alliance is an association of hundreds of members from around the world, working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard.
