- 2. What is a ZigBee Wireless Network? ZigBee networks can be cluster, star or mesh networks as shown in the diagram. Each ZigBee network has one device that is setup as a coordinator that controls and initializes the network. Other devices can either be setup as routers that can pass data or as End Points, that can only have one connection. End points or Reduced Function Devices can be set to sleep mode so they use very little power and so can be battery operated. Because of this very low power requirement, ZigBee is ideal for sensor networks or other control applications, which require: Low to medium data rates Lots of nodes (up to 65,565) Easy addition or removal of nodes from network robust mesh network that doesn't fall over if one node fails very low power, battery operated equipment ZigBee protocols are intended for use in embedded applications requiring low data rates and low power consumption. ZigBee’s current focus is to define a general-purpose, inexpensive, self-organizing mesh network that can be used for industrial control, embedded sensing, medical data collection, smoke and intruder warning, building automation, home automation, etc. The resulting network will use very small amounts of power – individual devices must have a battery life of at least two years to pass ZigBee certification. ZigBee is a low-cost, low-power, wireless mesh networking proprietary standard. The low cost allows the technology to be widely deployed in wireless control and monitoring applications, the low power-usage allows longer life with smaller batteries, and the mesh networking provides high reliability and larger range. ZigBee can activate (go from sleep to active mode) in 15 msec or less, the latency can be very low and devices can be very responsive — particularly compared to Bluetooth wake-up delays, which are

Building Automation Remote Control Home energy savings Health and fitness monitoring Smart homes Easy-to-use touchpads mice, keyboards, wands LED lighting control etc… What can ZigBee do for you? ZigBee protocols are intended for embedded applications requiring low data rates and low power consumption. The resulting network will use very small amounts of power — individual devices must have a battery life of at least two years to pass ZigBee certification Home Entertainment and Control — Home automation, smart lighting, advanced temperature control, safety and security, movies and music Wireless sensor networks — Starting with individual sensors like Telosb/Tmote and Iris from Memsic Industrial control Embedded sensing Medical data collection Smoke and intruder warning Building automation What is a Bluetooth Wireless Network? Bluetooth technology was invented in 1994 by engineers at Ericsson. Bluetooth is a standard and a communications protocol primarily designed for low power consumption, with a short range (power-class-dependent: 100m, 10m and 1m, but ranges vary in practice) based on low-cost transceiver microchips in each device. Bluetooth makes it possible for these devices to

Specifically, Bluetooth connects devices such as; Mobile phones, PDA, laptops, Pcs together Modems, headsets, computer mouse, keyboards Digital Camera Personal digital assistants Printers, Fax machines Car Kits etc…. Bluetooth exists in many products, such as telephones, modems and headsets.. I you are specific users to file transfer or synchronization something, multi-functional cell phone and so on. What can Bluetooth do for you? The technology is useful when transferring information between two or more devices that are near each other in low-bandwidth situations. Bluetooth is commonly used to transfer sound data with telephones (i.e., with a Bluetooth headset) or byte data with hand-held computers (transferring files). For instance, you can use your phone or PDA to consult databases located in your laptop, or even to print documents. You can use your MP3 player around the house to listen to music stored on your PC. Recently, car manufacturers such as BMW, Lexus and Toyota have equipped some of their models with Bluetooth car kits. This allows you to use the features of your cell phone through the car's audio system while the phone itself is stored away in the trunk, for instance.
- 5. What are differences between ZigBee and Bluetooth wireless networks? There is a table about difference between ZigBee and Bluetooth wireless network technologies. We listed major difference between the two technologies.
