ZigBee
A very low cost, low power consumption two-way, wireless communications standard for automation, toys, & PC peripherals
ZigBee Mission:
To bring about the existence of a broad range of interoperable consumer devices by establishing open industry specifications for unlicensed, untethered peripheral, control and entertainment devices requiring the lowest cost and lowest power consumption communications between compliant devices anywhere in and around the home.
The Need for ZigBee
Low Power consumption
6 months to 5 years battery life for most applications
Low Cost
At least half the cost of Bluetooth solutions
High density of nodes per network
250 nodes per network, multiple co-located networks
Data rate requirements
Few bits to 250kbps sufficient
Simple protocol, Global Implementation
2.4GHz
Standard in a fragmented market
Many proprietary solutions, interoperability issues
Pent up demand due to lack of standard
Objective of ZigBee
Interoperable consumer devices
Open industry specification
Peripheral, control and entertainment devicesLowest cost and lowest power consumption
Anywhere in and around the home
Traget Market:
A multimedia PC with interactive gaming options or a 32" television equipped with Home Theatre features, Internet access (e.g. WebTV) or a video gaming console (e.g. Sega, Nintendo, Sony). These residents potentially have the need for advanced HID and toy solutions that could enhance their living or entertainment experiences.
Low cost solutions for interconnectivity between toys, such as, TomoguchisExisting homes with installed security, home automation or HVAC systems, and new homes with plans for these systems.
The Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) market may also find use for ZigBee products for controlling multimedia presentations, conference rooms, training rooms and automation or control functions.
