1. An introductionZigBee is the new standard developed by the ZigBee Alliance for personal networking (Pans). Comprised of more than 270 companies (including Freescale, Ember, Mitsubishi, Philips, Honeywell, and Texas Instruments), the ZigBee Alliance is a consortium promoting the ZigBee standard for low-speed/low-power wireless sensor and control networks. ZigBee protocol stack designed for IEEE 802.15.4, which defines the Media Access Control (MAC) and physical layer for low-speed wireless personal networks (LR-WPAN). The ZigBee standard offers a profile that defines the network, security, and application layer stack. Developers must be responsible for the profile of the application created or integrate with the public a profile developed by the ZigBee Alliance. The ZigBee specification is an open standard that allows manufacturers to develop their own specialized applications that require low costs and lower power consumption. The manual was prepared as an introduction to the various components of the ZigBee network. After a quick overview of ZigBee, we'll start with a description of the high-level concepts used in wireless communications and move on to the specific protocols required to run the communications standards. Below is a description of using Rabbit-based cards and the Dynamic C library to create a ZigBee network.2. The application of technology: where, how it works and who uses it. Where does it work? Freescale has a broad portfolio of ZigBee-enabled ICs and low-power microcontrollers (MCUs) that make an ideal platform for ZigBee-enabled networking. The Freescale MC13224V ZigBee™ Platform Package (PIP) is the latest low-power platform for ZigBee devices. The highly integrated MC13224V pip simplifies RF design, enabling many customers...... middle of paper ...... and offers a standard range of innovative solutions expertly designed to help you go green and save money.6 . Advantages, disadvantages.Advantages1. All equipment compliant with appropriate ZigBee networks works on the same2. Relatively convenient ZigBee wireless home management system setup3. The ability to manage the remote network of home tools4. Remove dependency on infrared device5. There is no central control point and the workload is distributed. Disadvantages1. Replacing with ZigBee compatible equipment can be expensive2. There is nothing more secure than the usual 802.113 wireless network. ZigBee compliance certification for home appliance manufacturers requires the use of lithium battery4. It can be confusing for homeowners at first5. ZigBee compliant manufacturers are slow to appear on the market7. Conclusion8. References
