Re: [ts-7000] Re: IEEE 802.15.4/zigbee

["Don W. Carr" <>]

802.15.4 is just the MAC and physical layer. Zigbee adds network and application layers, turning it into an ad-hoc self healing mesh network.

As I understand, the new standard that Nokia is proposing to replace blue tooth, which WILL work with watch type devices that have tiny batteries, is based on 
802.15.4 (correct me if I am wrong), but does not use zigbee. Sooner or later, we will be able to download our Google calender to our watch and have it beep for apointments.

802.15.4 end devices should be able to go years on two AA bateries (acording to what I have read).

OK, please enlighten me... I was under the impression that zigbee and
802.15.4 were the same.

Is zigbee just a protocol?

What functionality do I get with just the radio part?

In particular, I am looking for a mesh and relay type of self-healing
network.
