Zigbee Technology

Zigbee is a low-power wireless standard used for control and sensor applications. It was created by the Zigbee Alliance based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Zigbee uses low data rates and long battery life to enable wireless control and monitoring applications. It supports mesh networking and can connect many devices with low power consumption ranging from months to years. Common applications of Zigbee include wireless sensor networks, home automation, and industrial control.

 ZigBee is a new wireless technology
 Technological Standard Created for Control
and Sensor Networks
 Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard
 Created by the ZigBee Alliance
 Philips,Motorola,Intel,HP are all members of
the allience.
 Its low power consumption limits transmission distances to
10– 100 meters line-of-sight, depending on power output
and environmental characteristics.

 ZigBee is typically used in low data rate applications that


require long battery life and secure networking (ZigBee
networks are secured by 128 bit symmetric encryption
keys.)
 ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for
intermittent data transmissions from a sensor or input
device.

 ZigBee is a low-cost, low-power, wireless mesh


network standard targeted at the wide
development of long battery life devices in
wireless control and monitoring applications.

 Zigbee devices have low latency, which further


reduces average current.
 ZigBee chips are typically integrated with
radios and with microcontrollers that have
between 60256 KB of flash memory.

 Standard in a fragmented market


 Many proprietary solutions, interoperability issues
 Low Power consumption
 Users expect battery to last months to years!

 Low Cost
 High density of nodes per network
 Simple protocol, global implementation
 Data rates of 250 kbps and 20 kbps
 Star topology, peer to peer possible
 255 devices per network
 CSMA-CA channel access
 Optional Guaranteed Time Slot
 Fully handshaked protocol for transfer reliability
 Low power (battery life multi-month to years)
 Dual PHY (2.4GHz and 868/915 MHz)
 Range: 10m nominal (1-100m based on settings)
 Location Aware: Yes, but optional

There are three different ZigBee


device types that operate on the
layers in any self-organizing
application network
1. Zigbee Coordinator node
2. Full Function Device (FFD)
3. Reduced Function Device(RFD)

 It is the root of network tree and a bridge to


other network
 Able to store information about the network
 Only one ZCN for a network
 It act as a repositary for other security keys

 An intermediatory router transmitting data from


other devices
 Needs lesser memory than Zigbee coordinator
node
 Lesser manufacturing cost
 Can operate on all topologies
 Also act as a coordinator

 Device capable of talking in the network


 It cannot relay data from other devices
 Less memory
 Cheaper than FFD
 It talks only to the n/w coordinator
 Low power consumption with battery life
ranging from months to years
 High density of nodes per network
 Low cost
 Simple implementation
 Low data rate
 Small packet devices
 Home Entertainment and Control
 Wireless sensor networks
 Industrial control
 Embedded sensing
 Medical data collection
 Smoke and intruder warning
 Building automation
 The ZigBee Alliance targets applications
Across consumer, commercial, industrial
and government markets worldwide
 Home networking
 Industrial control and management All
Zigbee compliant appliances compatibly
operate on the same network
 Setting up Zigbee wireless home
management system is relatively
inexpensive
 Ability to manage home appliance network
remotely
 Eliminates dependence on Infrared device
 No central control point - dispersal of
workload
 Replacement with Zigbee compliant
appliances can be costly
 No more secure than a typical 802.11 wireless
network
 Zigbee compliance certification for appliance
manufacturers mandates lithium battery use
 Can be confusing at first for the homeowner
 Zigbee compliant manufacturers slow to make
an appearance on the market
In future all devices and their controls
will be based on this standard. Since
Wireless personal Area Networking
applies not only to household devices,
but also to individualised office
automation applications, ZigBee is here
to stay. It is more than likely the basis
of future home-networking
solutions………
