ZigBee stuff

ZigBee is a newish RF radio protocol at the same frequency of Bluetooh and 802.11b (ISC 2.4GHz). Unlike both of those protocols, it doesn’t suck (power). It’s meant to sip on batteries for months while still being part of a ZigBee mesh. And it seems to be designed to better deal in noiser environments (which the 2.4GHz band is definitely now).

There’s been at least one article in Circuit Cellar about it, I need to re-read it.

• TinyOS — small OS with ZigBee stack (?)
• Luxoft Labs: Wireless Sensor Network, ZigBee Developer Kit
• Freescale ZRP-1: ZigBee-Ready Platform
• “ZigBee starts its rise to power”
• The inevitable Slashdot article (full of punters and noobs, natch)
