ZigBee is a standard based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless
personal networks. This standard allows for the creation of very lost
cost and low power networks - these applications run for years rather
than months. These networks are created from sensors and actuators and
can wireless control many electrical products such as remote controls,
medical, industrial, and security sensors. Hundreds of companies are
creating applications including Mitsubishi, Motorola, Freescale, and
Siemens.
This book is written for engineers who plan to develop ZigBee
applications and networks, to understand how they work, and to evaluate
this technology to see if it is appropriate to a particular project.
This book does not simply state facts but explains what ZigBee can do
through detailed code examples.
