 INTRODUCTION

• Zigbee is a wireless protocol that allow small , low-cost

devices to quickly transmit small amounts of data.

• Zigbee networks began to be conceived around 1998, when

many installers realized that both wifi and bluetooth were
going to be unsuitable for many applications.
 Origin of the name: ZIGBEE

• The technique that honey bees use

to communicate new found food
souces to other colony members is
referred to as the ZIGBEE principle

• Using this silent , but power way of

cmmunication system, whereby the bee
dances in a zig-zag pattern, it is able to
share information such as the locaion,
distance and direction of a newly
discovered food source her fellow
colony members.
 Introduction to Zigbee wireless networking technology

 Zigbee is a IEEE 802.15.4 based, low-power, low data rate

supporting wireless standard.

 Basically used for two way communication between sensors

and control system.

 It supports low data rates of about 250 kbps.

 This technology is mainly used for applications requiring

low power, low cost, low data rate and a long battery life.
Why is Zigbee needed?

 For long battery lives.

 Reqires low cost.

 Uses Low data rates.

 Doesn’t need much power.

 Characteristics of Zigbee

 Data rates of 20kbps and upto 250kbps.

 Star or Peer-to Peer network topologies.
 255 devices per network
 Support from low latency devices.
 Handshaking.
 3 frequencies bands with 27 chanels.
 Low power usage and consumption.
 Extremely low duty cycle (<0.1%).
 Working of Zigbee

 Zigbee hardware generally consists of an 8 bit micro-controller

combined with a miniature transreceiver, a small amount of flash
memory and RAM.
 Zigbee basically uses digital radios to allow devices to
comunicate with one another.
 A typical zigbee network consists of a network co-ordinator, that
sets up the network, is aware of all the nodes within its network
and manages both the nformation about each node.
 Every zigbee network consists of a network coordinator, FFD’s,
& RFD’s.
 Zigbee -Network
There are three logical devices types in a zigbee in a network—
i. Coordinator
ii. Router
iii. End-device

• Coordinator
 This is the device that ‘starts’ a Zigbee network.

 It is the first device on the network.

 The coordinator node chooses a channel and a network identifier

and then starts the network.
Zigbee Network (contd..)
ii. Router

• Allows other devices to join the network.

• Multi-hop routing.

iii. End device

• An end device has no specific responsibilityfor maintaining
the network infrastructure, s it can sleep and wake up as it is
chosen.
• Memory requirements are lower for an end device.

o Do you know?
• There is a city in Europe, the city of Gothenberg, Sweden, called as
“The Zigbee City”. It will be the site of world’s largest Zigbee Network.

• The city consists of around 270,000 homes . The city chose the NURI AiMiR
Advanced Meter-reading Management (AMM) system, which is based
on Zigbee-powered sensors.

•The system will allow the electric company to save time and money by
remotely accessing each home’s meters to measure and record energy usage
  Zigbee Allaince

• Zigbee Alliance is an association

of companies working to develop and
promote a set of open-global standards for a low-power, cost effective
WPAN technology based on IEEE 801.15.4.
Applications
• Zigbee provides the ability to run for years on inexpensive batteries
for a host of monitoring and control applications.

• It also incudes its applications in smart energy, home automation,

industries, HVAC control, medical devices and fleet applications.
Zigbee in HOME automation
• Zigbee improves comfort.
• Zigbee keeps you secure.
• Zigbee is convinient.
Zigbee in industries
• Zigbee is reliable.
• Zigbee is interoperable.
• Zigbee is low-power.
Zigbee in hospitals

Smart Electricity meter
o Latest news and updates on Zigbee

Dotdot is the universal language of IOT, making it possible for smart objects to
work together.
Conclusion
• In future all devices and their controls will be based on this
standard.

• Since WPAN applies not only to household devices,but also to

individualized office automation applications, ZIGBEE is here
to stay.
• It is more likely the basis of future communications.

• Just as the personal computer was a symbol of the 80’s, the

zigbee is going to be the advent of cheap sensors and
communication!
