ZIGBEE: Overview
ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 are rapidly becoming the standards of choice for low data rate wireless applications. IEEE 802.15.4 defines a robust radio (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layer. ZigBee defines the network, security and application framework for an IEEE 802.15.4-based system. ZigBee networks supports star, mesh and cluster-tree topologies.
