  2. Overview • Section 1 : Introduction. • Section 2 : Featured Applications. • Section 3 : How to make a Zigbee node • Section 4 : Advantages. • Section 5 : References. • Section 6 : Questions?

  3. Section 1 : Introduction • The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard. • The goal of the ZigBee Alliance is to provide the consumer with ultimate flexibility, mobility, and ease of use by building wireless intelligence and capabilities into everyday devices.

  4. Section 1 : Introduction Continued • ZigBee technology will be embedded in a wide range of products and applications across consumer, commercial, industrial and government markets worldwide. For the first time, companies will have a standards-based wireless platform optimized for the unique needs of remote monitoring and control applications, including simplicity, reliability, low-cost and low-power.

  5. Section 1 : Introduction Continued • Focus • Defining the network, security and application software layers.    • Providing interoperability and conformance testing specifications.   • Promoting the ZigBee brand globally to build market awareness. • Managing the evolution of the technology.

  6. Section 2 : Featured Applications 1) Home Heartbeat System

  7. Section 2 : Featured Applications Continued • Developed by Eaton Corp. gives homeowners an awareness of what’s going on inside their house, even if they happened to be thousands of miles away. • Home Heartbeat will debut in this summer. • It will be available in the form of do-it-yourself kit, which includes a base station, home key, and one sensor.

  8. Section 2 : Featured Applications Continued 2) Automatic Meter Reading System.

  9. Section 2 : Featured Applications Continued • Developed by NURI Telecom in Korea is expecting to bring this system to U.S. this year. • This system is already working in scores of Korean homes as government sponsored pilot project.

  10. Section 2 : Featured Applications Continued 3) Lusora Intelligent Sensory Architecture (Lisa). • Developed by San-Francisco based Lusora Inc. • This is basically a home-monitoring system for senior citizens.

  11. Section 2 : Featured Applications Continued • Includes a light switch with a tiny digital camera (left); pendant (center) worn around the neck; and a movement tags (right), which can let the system generate an alert based either on detected movement or the lack of any movement.

  12. Section 2 : Featured Applications Continued • Some other applications which employ Zigbee schemes are: • Home Automation System by Control4 • Catching Termites. • Mechanism for more rapid processing of returned rental cars.

  13. Section 3 : How to Make a Zigbee Node • A Zigbee node consists of as few as two ICs, a power source and few passive components.

  14. Section 4 : Advantages • Makes existing wireless applications more capable. • Protocols for Zigbee are optimized for applications that are time critical. It takes about 30 msecs to join a network, and about 15 msecs for a device to access other network nodes. • Zigbee I/O points themselves can take on responsibilities of trafficking gears such as hubs and routers.

  15. Section 4 : Advantages • 4)Mesh-networking feature avoids communication problems caused by obstacles that could otherwise block RF signals. • 5)These devices consume less power than Bluetooth nodes, because it uses much smaller protocol stack (28kbytes compared to 250kbytes). • 6) Zigbee networking supports potentially thousands of devices per network compared to Bluetooth's eight. • 7) Controllers running a Zigbee device needs correspondingly less memory and consumes less power.
