This PPT is for mess topologie based wireless network modules comparisons for home automation projects

1. IEEE 802.15.4 protocol

2. ZigBee Overview:-
• Technological standard standard created for control and sensor networks.
• ZigBee is an IEEE 802.15.4 based specification for a suite of high-level communication
protocols.
• Frequency band up to 2.4GHz.
• Wireless personal area network (WPANs),used to create personal area networks with small,
low-power digital radios.
Such as :-
 home automation,
 medical device data collection,
 and other low-power low-bandwidth needs,
 designed for small scale projects which need wireless connection.

3. Integrated MCU and transceiver modules are
CC2530 Em357 Xbee
PAN4555 CC2420 Zigbee Pro
MRF24J40
SM200P81
