Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: In-Stat
Published: December 2007
Product Code: R97-3022Description ZigBee, known for its short distances and low power consumption, is the formal network, security, application-framework, and application-profile layer overlay on top of the 802.15.4 PHY (physical) and MAC (media access control) layers. The potential for ZigBee is still partially unknown. Currently, ZigBee technology targets building automation, industrial, medical, home automation, asset management, HVAC, and other monitoring applications. More applications will be invented as programmers better understand the technology.
Within this market, there are different philosophies among chipset manufacturers and their approaches to 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications. ZigBee promoters face competition from a variety of standards and consortia—both wired and wireless. Despite the lack of industry acceptance of ZigBee as the winning technology in the low-power mesh networking space, ZigBee chipsets will see a change in annual growth of 111%, with chipset units reaching 120 million in 2011.
