Title: ZigBee Wireless Networks and Transceivers Author(s): Shahin Farahani Pages: 360 Publisher: Newnes Publication date: 2008 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 0750683937 ISBN-13: 978-075068393 Description: A complete guide to the ZigBee protocol, hardware, and networking for RF/wireless professionals.
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
