ZigBee™

ZigBee™ is the name of an alliance of companies formed around IEEE's 802.15.4 specification for low data rates in the Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) radio bands. The ZigBee protocol promises to provide longer battery life and to be a lower-cost alternative to Bluetooth for wireless sensing and control applications. Companies looking for reliable and secure wireless monitoring and control solutions have a new alternative –- ZigBee™ (www.zigbee.org). ZigBee provides the network, security and application profiles layers for the IEEE 802.15.4 global standard for reliable, low-power, wireless data communications.
