15 Facts About Zigbee

Technology defined by the Zigbee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other wireless personal area networks, such as Bluetooth or more general wireless networking such as Wi-Fi.

Zigbee is typically used in low data rate applications that require long battery life and secure networking.

Zigbee was conceived in 1998, standardized in 2003, and revised in 2006.

Zigbee is a low-power wireless mesh network standard targeted at battery-powered devices in wireless control and monitoring applications.

Zigbee chips are typically integrated with radios and with microcontrollers.
