ZigBee Training Course provides an overview of the Zigbee features and benefits, 802.15.4 PHY and MAC layers, applications, underlying technologies, details of air Interface, architecture, operations and network management, integration, QoS and security.

ZigBee is an open, global standards-based wireless protocol technology supporting low power low cost mesh defined by The ZigBee Alliance. ZigBee standards define application profiles for smart energy, home automation, home security, commercial building automation, and smart metering.

Characteristics of ZigBee include:

  • Operation in the 2.4GHz frequency band according to IEEE 802.15.4, regional operation in the 915 MHz (Americas), 868 MHz (Europe) and 920 MHz (Japan)
  • Power saving mechanisms for all device classes, discovery mechanisms with full application confirmation, pairing mechanisms with full application confirmation
  • Multiple star topology and inter-communication
  • Unicast and multi-cast transmission options
  • Security key update mechanism, AES-128-CCM security scheme

ZigBee IP is a IPv6-based full wireless mesh networking solution to support Internet plug and play IPv6 based connections to control low-power, low-cost devices. ZigBee IP supports  ZigBee 2030.5 (formerly known as ZigBee Smart Energy 2) including  920IP, which provides specific support for ECHONET Lite and the requirements of Japanese Home Energy Management systems in response to Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).

ZigBee PRO is an expanded set of features of the original ZigBee protocol also know as ZigBee PRO Feature Set.

ZigBee Training by TONEX covers important aspects of ZigBee and lower level IEEE 802.15.4 PHY and MAC from service, application and technical aspects.

ZigBee technology is focusing on  applications that require a low data rate, long battery life, open, simple, manageable, reliable and secure networking.

About Zigbee: Connectivity Standards Alliance  

After many years and millions of implementations every year, ZigBee standards prove you can rely on the widest variety of smart and easy-to-use products for just about anywhere you work, live or play. Our innovative standards are designed to let product manufacturers help their customers create their own Internet of Things and M2M wireless sensor networks to gain greater control of, and even improve, everyday activities.

ZigBee lets you easily and cost-effectively add intelligent new features that improve the efficiency, safety, security, reliability and convenience of your products. You can help your customers save both energy and money, or give them the tools they need to gain control of their homes. It’s even possible to help people maintain their independence and allow them to closely monitor their health and fitness.

ZigBee defines many different devices types and commands to insure seamless device interoperability and interworking.

IEEE 802.15.4 occupies the bottom layers of the ZigBee protocol stack, the applications sit at the top of the stack, and the ZigBee Network (NWK) layer between them.

  • Raw data rates up to 250Kbs at 2.4GHz (16 channels), 40Kbs at 915 MHz (10 channels) and 20Kbs at 868 MHz(1 channel)
  • Transmission distances range from 10 to 100 meters, depending on power output and environmental characteristics
  • ZigBee incorporates IEEE 802.15.4 defined CSMA-CA protocol to reduce the contention and probability of interfering with other users
  • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum
  • Collision avoidance, receiver energy detection, link quality indication, clear channel assessment, acknowledgement, security, support for guaranteed time slots and packet freshness
  • ZigBee’s addressing scheme of 64,000 nodes per network and multiple network coordinators  linked together to support extremely large networks
