This project has combined the characteristics of the IEEE
802.15.4 standard with the maturing ZigBee specification in
defining the wireless profiles for low data rate monitoring and
control applications. The capabilities of both will result in the
availability of a technology tailored specifically for the low
power, low cost, and low complexity applications in the industrial,
residential, and home today and in the future.
If the application strictly needs to communicate in a
point-to-point or point-to multipoint fashion ZigBee will be able
to handle all the communications between your devices and will be
simpler to implement. Flexible management of home appliances from
anywhere in the house is possible using the ZigBee remote.
