Useful links

The following resources, which include tutorials and whitepapers, were created by the ZigBee Alliance and by some of Daintree's partners. These are links that people at Daintree have found useful. We hope you also find them of value:  

   

The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked monitoring and control networks based on an open global standard. ZigBee is working toward further standardization for wireless sensor and control markets, based on 802.15.4.  

 

IEEE 802.15.4 

The IEEE 802.15.4 standard defines the wireless medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) specifications for low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-PANs). It was approved during the sponsored ballot in May 2003.

 

6LowPAN

6LoWPAN is a standard from the IETF (RFC 4944 published in 2007), which optimizes IPv6 for use with low-power, low-bandwidth communication technologies such as the IEEE 802.15.4 radio.

 

Partner Links

Daintree's partners provide a number of excellent resources on their web sites. Here is a sample of some of the links we've found most useful.
