Abstract

In 2003, the IEEE released the 802.15.4 standard defining wireless mesh networking with low data rates, but also very low power consumption. ZigBee is a communication networking layer that can be overlaid on top of the 802.15.4 MAC.

The idea of “building up” to ZigBee from the 802.15.4 standard is the focus of this report. In-Stat believes that there are technical and market drivers that will move OEMs to use the ZigBee networking layer in lieu of the 802.15.4 standard.

What ZigBee has in its favor is that it is designed to create interoperability among silicon vendors and facilitate common software and profile platforms for end users in specific applications. The ZigBee Alliance is the Special Interest Group in charge of promoting the technology, and testing and verifying products. The membership now counts 200 companies.

In-Stat coverage of the 802.15.4/ZigBee space includes:
  • An examination of 802.15.4/ZigBee components and how companies differentiate their products on the component level
  • A current status update on how countries plan to regulate ZigBee
  • Estimated BOM of ZigBee chipsets and ZigBee modules
  • Detailed scenarios about what challenges 802.15.4/ZigBee faces in market verticals residential Automation, Commercial Applications, Medical, Industrial, and Smart Cards
  • Breakouts of 802.15.4/ZigBee shipments by Region, Frequency, and Application
  • In-depth vendor profiles of ZigBee silicon, systems, and software providers
