Description
ZigBee is a short-range wireless networking standard backed by such industry leaders as Motorola, Texas Instruments, Philips, Samsung,
Siemens, Freescale, etc. It supports mesh networking, each node can transmit and receive data, offers high security and robustness, and
is being rapidly adopted in industrial, control/monitoring, and medical applications. This book will explain the ZigBee protocol, discuss
the design of ZigBee hardware, and describe how to design and implement ZigBee networks. The book has a dedicated website for the latest
technical updates, ZigBee networking calculators, and additional materials. Dr. Farahani is a ZigBee system engineer for Freescale semiconductors
Inc. The book comes with a dedicated website that contains additional resources and calculators: http://www.learnZigBee.com
