ZigBee Modules are small integrated boards which are tested, calibrated and pre-certified so you can add ZigBee functionality without these complications. Module manufacturers are generally helpful and can help you with embedding ZigBee into a design and overcoming technical hurdles. What is ZigBee? ZigBee is a wireless networking standard built on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard which defines the physical and MAC layers. It is best suited to low bandwidth applications and has a range of up to 70 metres but data can be sent further if relayed through a network of ZigBee nodes. A possible alternative to a ZigBee Module is a System-on-Chip (SoC) with integrated ZigBee. Advantages of ZigBee Very low cost Simple to implement Low power consumption Low latency Secure data transfer Typical ZigBee Applications Home Automation Industrial Automation Asset Tracking Smart Grid Monitoring Remote Sensors
