802.15.1 Bluetooth

802.15.4 ZigBee

The “ZigBee”

Wait… Which Bee??

ZigBee is based on an IEEE 802.15.4 standard. Though its low powerconsumption limits transmission distances to 10–100 meters line-of-sight, depending on power output and environmental characteristics,ZigBee devices can transmit data over long distances by passing datathrough a mesh network of intermediate devices to reach moredistant ones.

The Big Picture…

The “WiFi”
