ZigBee Wireless Sensor Network Technology?

A wireless sensor network (WSN) consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions. A WSN consists of many inexpensive wireless sensors, which are capable of collecting, storing, processing environmental information, and communicating with neighboring nodes. ZigBee is newly develop technology that work on IEEE standard 802.15.4,Which can be use in wireless sensor network. Low data rates, low power consumption, low cost are the features of the ZigBee. ZigBee is world wide open standard for wireless radio network in monitoring and control field. ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 devices can be used to improve the current manufacturing control systems, detect unstable situations, control production pipelines, and so on. ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 are designed for lightweight sensor platforms.
