Book Description
The First Practical Guide to Advanced Wireless Development with ZigBee
Technologies. Supported by more than 270 companies, the new ZigBee
standard enables powerful new wireless applications for safety,
security, and control, ranging from smart energy to home automation and
medical care to advanced remote control. ZigBee Wireless Control and
Sensor Network brings together all the knowledge professionals need to
start building effective ZigBee solutions.
The only simple, concise guide to ZigBee architecture, concepts,
networking, and applications, this book thoroughly explains the entire
ZigBee protocol stack and covers issues ranging from routing to
security. It also presents detailed, practical coverage of ZigBee
features for home automation, smart energy networking, and consumer
electronics. Coverage includes · Fundamental wireless concepts: OSI
Model, error detection, the ISM Band, modulation, WLAN, FHSS, DSSS,
Wireless MANs, Bluetooth, and more · ZigBee essentials: applications,
characteristics, device types, topologies, protocol architecture, and
expanded ZigBee PRO features
