ZigBee, or 802.15.4 is, at least on the surface, modest. It is the open, global wireless standard for low-data rate, low power and low complexity networks. It is a personal area network wireless standard that operates in the unlicensed 2.4GHz, 902-908MHz, and 868MHz bands around the world. Remote control, the monitoring of sensors, smart badges and home automation are cited as potential applications. Remote control in this case is not, however, the simple line or sight on or off of a TV or stereo remote control. As ZigBee supports the mesh networking of control, it will enable users to do more than in the way of automation and surveillance than has previously been possible with low-cost networks. As this suggests, modest though ZigBee is in terms of power and network complexity, its overall application base is intended to be huge.
