Best Answer

Bluetooth low energy has been designed as an ultra-low power PAN/BAN (Personal Area Network/Body Area Network), while ZigBee is more of a low-power LAN (Local Area Network). BLE was designed from the start as a star network around a portable device such as a mobile phone. This means that it has a quite simple network topology, but with nodes dropping off or coming onto the network dynamically as they (or the central device) move in and out of range. It should be easy to add nodes, since they all connect to the central device. ZigBee was designed from the start to support mesh networking. This has two purposes; it allows the ZigBee network to cover a large network area (hence the LAN moniker), and it allows flexible routing to deal with situations where routing nodes may become unavailable for some reason. This paradigm is more suited to relatively stationary networks, since it takes some time and effort to keep the routing information up-to-date.

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.

What is the comparison between ZigBee and RFID?

It depends on the application. RFID usually means passive tags, low cost and no battery needed but maximum range only a few inches. Zigbee ia a PAN network (the nodes all have batteries) range is many yards. RFID tags generally cost less ($5?) than Zigbee nodes ($25?) but prices vary with quantity. With RFID to locate something you must scan it from a few inches away. With Zigbee you can detect it from anywhere in the building. But, Zigbee does not inherently give any location information
