Overview
Zigbee is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It is specifically designed for low-power devices that need to communicate over a mesh network, where each device can act as a repeater.
Key Features
- Mesh Networking: Extends range and improves reliability.
- Low Power: Devices can run for years on a single battery.
- Scalability: Can support thousands of devices in a single network.
Applications
- Smart home automation (lighting, thermostats).
- Industrial sensor networks.
- Medical device monitoring.
