From the Foreword: "I recommend this book to system designers, technical managers, wireless engineers, and researchers who are interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of the principals and applications of ZigBee for low-power, low-data-rate wireless networking." --Dr. Robert F. Heile, Chairman of IEEE 802.15 and ZigBee Alliance "This book provides a one stop reference for the 802.15.4 PHY and MAC Layers and the ZigBee Networking Layer including the practical challenges in the deployment of these wireless networks." --Clinton Powell, Freescale Wireless Connectivity Operations Global Platform Systems Chief Architect, Chair of IEEE 802.15.4 Task Group C and Secretary of ZigBee Alliance ZigBee Qualification Group "ZigBee Wireless Networks and Transceivers provides a handy reference for developers of ZigBee and 802.15.4 based networks." --Phil Beecher, Software Team Leader, Integration UK Ltd, Chair of IEEE 802.15.4 Task Group D and Vice Chair/Secretary of IEEE 802.15.4 Task Group E.
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
