My Project | Low Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks in NS2

There has been tremendous excitement on part of the corporates, the market and the consumers alike because of the wide spectrum of applications that zigbee has to other. It is a revolutionary new technology built to compliment or replace existing not so successful technologies. Automation is the buzz word for zigbee. It stands to automate our household, corporate buildings and industries. Its control and monitoring capabilities offer an excellent platform for automation. A host of application categories/scenarios are presented here:
· Monitoring: Surveillance systems, Fire alarms, Pressure sensors, Meter reading monitors, Health and Environment monitors.
· Control: Health, Environment, Sensors, Home, Building and Industry Automation
· Efficiency
· Conservation
Theoretically there can be innumerable number of applications. It only depends on how better we tend to harness the flexibility and services offered by zigbee. As already stated, these are merely applications that are intended or desired and there may be scenarios where this technology cannot be successfully applied. Firstly, these application scenarios can be applied broadly into three application spheres, based on the complexity, feasibility and requirements posed by each sphere of application.
