What is ZigBee?
Technology & Standard (global wireless sensing and control network)
Focus Relatively Simple Devices
Low cost (open standard, multi-vendor availability)
Low data rate
Low power (years on a AA battery / batteryless)
Robust, reliable, simple deployment and maintenance
(mesh, self-organizing, self-healing) ( , g g, g)
Interoperability
Sense and Control Sense and Control

Purpose of ZigBee
Create a Much Needed Global Wireless sensing and g
control network
ZigBee gives a voice to the myriad of everyday devices
that surround us as we go about our daily lives that surround us as we go about our daily lives.
These devices are overlooked in an IT centric world:
Light switches, thermostats, electricity meters
