Title: ZigBee Wireless Sensor and Control Network
Abstract
Wireless Sensor and Control Networks are quickly becoming an integral part of the automation process, chemical plants, refineries, and commercial buildings. for wireless sensor and control networks is rapidly growing. Furthermore, according to a new market research report, it will be a $3.8 billion industry by the year 2017. To accommodate this burgeoning technology, numerous standards are being developed for wireless sensor and control networking such as SP100.11(Wireless Systems for Automation) by the Industrial Standard for Automation (ISA), Wireless HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) by the HART organization, IPv6 over Low Rate Wireless Personal Network (6LoWPAN) by IETF (the Internet Engineering Task Force) and ZigBee by the ZigBee alliance. ZigBee is one of the most widely used technologies to connect IoT devices. The following is a list of the more common applications for wireless sensor and control networks.
1. Commercial Building Automation
2. Home automation
3. Industrial and process automation
4. Energy and utility automation
5. Health Care
6. Remote Control
