SUMMARY
ZigBee, known for its short distances and low power consumption, is the formal
network, security, application-framework, and application-profile layer
overlay on top of the 802.15.4 PHY (physical) and MAC (media access control)
layers. The potential for ZigBee is still partially unknown. Currently, ZigBee
technology targets building automation, industrial, medical, home automation,
asset management, HVAC, and other monitoring applications. More applications
will be invented as programmers better understand the technology.
Within this market, there are different philosophies among chipset
manufacturers and their approaches to 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications. ZigBee
promoters face competition from a variety of standards and consortia- both
wired and wireless. Despite the lack of industry acceptance of ZigBee as the
winning technology in the low-power mesh networking space, ZigBee chipsets
will see a change in annual growth of 111%, with chipset units reaching 120
million in 2011.
