Summary
The book "Hands-On ZigBee: Implementing 802.15.4 with Microcontrollers" by Fred Eady provides an in-depth exploration of the ZigBee protocol, a low-power WPAN alternative to WiFi and Bluetooth. It covers practical implementation aspects, detailed discussions on radios, microcontrollers, and major industry players in the ZigBee ecosystem, aimed at enabling embedded system designers to deploy ZigBee-based wireless networks effectively.Parts used in the Hands-On ZigBee: Implementing 802.15.4 with Microcontrollers:
- ZMD 900MHz IEEE 802.15.4 ZigBee-Ready Radio
- Atmel IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee microcontrollers
- Maxstream XBee Modules

Since its recent introduction, the ZigBee protocol has created an enormous amount of buzz in venues from magazine covers to trade show floors to water coolers. Its promise of providing a simpler, cheaper, more power-efficient WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) alternative to WiFi and Bluetooth has opened up new data collection possibilities in application areas from industrial controls to medical devices to intruder alarms. Yet, despite this widespread interest, there is still little information available that goes beyond detailing the spec itself.
