2. ZigBee is the set of specs built around the IEEE
802.15.4 wireless protocol
Intended for 2.45 Ghz , 868 Mhz and 915 Mhz Band.
Low in cost ,complexity & power consumption as
compared to competing technologies.
Intended to network inexpensive devices .
Data rates touch 250Kbps for 2.45Ghz ,40 Kbps
915Mhz and 20Kbps for 868Mhz band.

3. Standard in a fragmented market
Many proprietary solutions, interoperability issues
Simple protocol, Global Implementation 2.4GHz
Low Power consumption
6 months to more than 5 years battery life for most applications
Low Cost
High density of nodes per network
250 nodes per network, multiple co-located networks
Data rate requirements
Few bits to 250kbps sufficient
9. Gateway : Network point that acts as an entrance to
another network.
Basic functionalities :
a) query-distribution
b) data-aggregation
c) message-conversion
Internet provides flexibility and convenience of access
