 Zigbee is the global wireless language connecting
dramatically different devices to work together and enhance
everyday
• Cost
-Low cost allows the technology to be widely deployed in
wireless control and monitoring applications

•Ease of Deployment
-Mesh networking provides high reliability and more extensive
range.

•Multi-source Products
–Not betting on a single company

•Battery Operation
– Low power-usage allows longer life with smaller batteries.
Origin of ZigBee name
The name of the brand is originated with reference to the
behavior of honey bees after their return to the beehive
 ZigBee-style networks began to be conceived around 1998,
when many installers realized that both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
were going to be unsuitable

 The ZigBee specifications were ratified on 14 December 2004

 ZigBee Alliance announces public availability of Specification

1.0 on 13 June 2005, known as ZigBee 2004 Specification.

 During the last quarter of 2007, ZigBee PRO, the enhanced

ZigBee specification was finalized
 Low power (battery life multi-month to years)

 Multiple topologies: star, peer-to-peer, mesh

 Addressing space of up to:

- 18,450,000,000,000,000,000 devices (64 bit IEEE address)
- 65,535 networks

 Optional guaranteed time slot for applications requiring low

latency

 Fully hand- shaked protocol for transfer reliability

 Range: 50m typical (5-500m based on environment)

 Operates in Unlicensed Bands

 ISM 2.4 GHz Global Band at 250kbps

 868 MHz European Band at 20kbps

 915 MHz North American Band at 40kbps

 Designed for wireless controls and sensors

 Operates in Personal Area Networks (PAN’s) and device-to-

device networks

 Connectivity between small packet devices

 Control of lights, switches, thermostats, appliances, etc.

 Engineers feel Wi-Fi and Bluetooth may be unsuitable. This
spawned the idea of digital radio networks via direct-
sequence spread spectrum coding.

 ZigBee-compliant radios may operate on one of three

different radio bands: the 800 MHz, 900 MHz, or 2.4 GHz
frequencies.

 Follows the internationally recognized radio standard for the

MAC and PHY Layer.

• ZigBee is better for devices
Where the battery is ‘rarely’
replaced

Targets are :

• Tiny fraction of host power

• New opportunities where

• ZigBee targets applications not addressable by Bluetooth or

any other wireless standard

• ZigBee and Bluetooth complement for a broader solution

Pros Cons

good extension of existing  Not many end devices

standards available yet
supported by many companies

 Single point of failure

low power consumption (centralized architecture)

low cost

easy implemented (Designer

concentrates on end application)

flexible network structure
