Why a ZigBee IP stack?

The United States Congress suggested it in relation to Stimulus Funding access and US utilities are now requiring it as part of their future networks. What will most likely be in it? MAC 15.4 2006 with MAC security 6lowPAN packet format and fragmentation ROLL routing Plus other features essential to effective sensor networks

Why ZigBee+Power Line Carrier?

Simplified installation for new smart energy applications in large apartment or commercial buildings with no other control networks Further expansion of the Home Area Network market by enhancing the ease of use and commercial viability of Smart Energy Advent of PHEVs in 2010 requires energy management system to address technical and business problems related to charging/discharging, billing, and access management. Common system architecture and application profile interface for home energy devices independent of networking technology
