Louis Frenzel, an old colleague of mine at Penton Media, has written a really good
technical overview of ZigBee technology in
the newest supplement of Electronic Design magazine. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts of
ZigBee, Lou is as good as anybody at explaining how a technology works and what to expect from it. The piece also
features a nice chart comparing the various wireless technologies—Bluetooth, WiFi, UWB, etc.—and discusses their
respective operating frequencies, data rates, and applications, among other categories.
