Advantages and disadvantages of zigbee technology?

Zigbee technology has many different advantages and not a lot of disadvantages. Some advantages include lower costs and it can work in any type of market even with low power sensors. A disadvantage is that it is a bit slower than other technologies.

What is zigbee?

ZigBee is a standard (rules, specifications, etc.) of a wireless network. This network aims specifically for home devices and appliances by making each 'node' 'speaks' with another, and benefit from each other.


How zigbee works?

ZigBee is similar to Bluetooth and connects to wireless devices. It is a low cost and energy efficient application that has been around since the 1990's. The devices work very differently than Bluetooth and the markets don't interfere.


Can we use zigbee in mobilephones instead of bluetoothg?

Zigbee isn't really suitable for use in mobile phones. Zigbee is a specification for communication protocols and digital radios used in wireless monitoring and control systems. In very simplified terms, the specification states that a Zigbee device must use very little power, have a relatively low data transfer rate, and must be powered by batteries that are not rechargeable. In fact, a Zigbee-certified device must run at least 2 years before battery replacement is required. (There are many other features, but I won't go into those here.) This makes Zigbee ideal for remote sensing and data collecting applications, where in many cases the units can't be reached easily to replace batteries. In contrast, Bluetooth is designed for higher data rates (4 times the maximum rate of Zigbee), longer range (up to 100 metres), and relatively frequent recharging of batteries. This is what consumers have typically come to expect from devices used for short-range wireless data transfer. So .. while Zigbee and Bluetooth are both short-range wireless specifications, they are designed to be used for very different purposes.


Who introduce the zigbee?

yale was introduced zigbee in 25 sep 2010


Programming languages that control zigbee?

quoting from stack exchange: "Zigbee", or IEEE 802.15.4, is a protocol. As such, it has no "programming language".


What are the future scope in bluetooth technology?

Zigbee Technology is a biotech company. The future scope of the company is the improve the quality of life by producing more efficient crops.


How do you find IEEE paper on a wireless design of low-cost irrigation system using zigbee technology?

Open your web browser and navigate to http://www.ieee.org and in the upper right hand corner type "irrigation zigbee" in the search box. It is the first response. The address for this paper is: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?tp=&arnumber=4908331&isnumber=4908191 Unfortunately to view the whole thing you need to pay for it. I doubt you will be able to find it offered for free (legally at least).


Which protocol used in wireless sensor network?

A wireless sensor network can use any suitable standard or non-standard protocol. Commonly used protocols include ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) and other members of the IEEE 802.15 protocol family.


What are the disadvantages of zigbee?

The main advantages of ZigBee are:Power saving, as a result of the short working period, low power consumption of communication, and standby modeReliability: Collision avoidance is adopted, with a special time slot allocated for those communications that need fixed bandwidth so that competition and conflict are avoided when transmitting data. The MAC layer adopts completely confirmed data transmission, that is, every data packet sent must wait for the confirmation from the receiverLow cost of the modules, and the ZigBee protocol is patent fee freeShort time delay, typically 30 ms for device searching, 15 ms for standby to activation, and 15 ms for channel access of active devicesLarge network capacity: One ZigBee network contains one master device and maximum 254 slave devices. There can be as many as 100 ZigBee networks within one areaSafety: ZigBee provides a data integrity check and authentication function. AES-128 is adopted and at the same time each application can flexibly determine its safety property.The main disadvantages of ZigBee include short range, low complexity, and low data speed. Due to their high cost, GSM and GPRS are normally used in concentrators to transmit data to the main station, or in high end multi-function meters. ZigBee is used mainly in the concentrators, data collectors, repeaters, and meters installed in the urban distribution AMR systems and prepayment systems. Because of the good real time capability of RF, meters are often equipped with a remote control function.


Zigbee is full duplex?

Yes. Actually we can communicate with ZigBee module through UART. So UART itself is a full Duplex communication. So we can use ZigBee for full Duplex communication.
