The Need for ZigBee

y Low Power consumption y 6 months to 5 years battery life for most applications y Low Cost y At least half the cost of Bluetooth solutions y High density of nodes per network y 250 nodes per network, multiple co-located networks y Data rate requirements y Few bits to 250kbps sufficient y Simple protocol, Global Implementation y 2.4GHz y Standard in a fragmented market y Many proprietary solutions, interoperability issues y Pent up demand due to lack of standard

Market overveiw:
y A multimedia PC with interactive gaming options or a 32"

television equipped with Home Theatre features, Internet access (e.g. WebTV) or a video gaming console (e.g. Sega, Nintendo, Sony). These residents potentially have the need for advanced HID and toy solutions that could enhance their living or entertainment experiences. TomoguchisExisting homes with installed security, home automation or HVAC systems, and new homes with plans for these systems.

y Low cost solutions for interconnectivity between toys, such as,

y The Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) market may also find use

for ZigBee products for controlling multimedia presentations, conference rooms, training rooms and automation or control functions.
