  Wireless: 802.15.4 and ZigBee™
 
ZigBee™ was created to address the market need for a cost-effective, standards-based wireless networking solution that supports low data-rates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability. It is based on the IEEE™ 802.15.4 wireless standard. ZigBee is the only standards-based technology that addresses the unique needs of most remote monitoring, control, and sensory network applications.
ZigBee™ technology is well suited to a wide range of building automation, industrial, medical, and residential control & monitoring applications.
Examples include:

Lighting controls
Automatic meter reading
Wireless smoke and CO detectors
HVAC control
Heating control
Home security
Environmental controls
Medical sensing and monitoring
Industrial sensors
Building automation
Tecnova has developed ZigRay™, a wireless data transceiver module that is compatible with the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. For ZigBee™ applications, the optional ZigBee™ protocol stack firmware is available.
In addition, Tecnova has developed the ZigRay™ Host Communication Module. ZigRay™ HCM accepts the ZigRay™ 802.15.4 wireless transceiver, and offers RS-232, RS-485, USB, Ethernet connectivity, and data logging.
