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
