Zigbee Is A Specification For A Suite of High Level Communication Protocols Using Small, Low

ZigBee is a low-power wireless networking protocol based on an IEEE standard for personal area networks, allowing devices to transmit data over long distances by passing through other devices in a mesh network without a centralized controller; it is targeted at applications requiring low data rates and battery life for tasks like wireless light switches, electrical meters, and other low-bandwidth industrial or consumer equipment.

ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using small, lowpower digital radios based on an IEEE

802 standard for personal area networks. ZigBee devices are often used in mesh network form to transmit data over longer distances, passing data through intermediate devices to reach more distant ones. This allows ZigBee networks to be formed ad-hoc, with no centralized control or high-power transmitter/receiver able to reach all of the devices. Any ZigBee device can be tasked with running the network. ZigBee is targeted at applications that require a low data rate, long battery life, and secure networking. ZigBee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for periodic or intermittent data or a single signal transmission from a sensor or input device.[1] Applications include wireless light switches, electrical meters with in-home-displays, traffic management systems, and other consumer and industrial equipment that requires short-range wireless transfer of data at relatively low rates. The technology defined by the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs, such as Bluetooth.
