ZigBee is a wireless protocol based on the IEEE 802.15.4 global
standard, ensuring interoperability and reliable communication
between various manufacturers’ products. ZigBee is well-suited
for a wide array of low power wireless networks.
MiWi and MiWi Point-to-Point (P2P) protocols are designed
to provide lower cost, reduced functionality alternatives for
customers who desire robust communication but do not need
ZigBee interoperability or large Mesh networks.
Wireless communication technologies have been commonplace in homes and industry for many years. Recently,
appliance and industrial markets and metering and thermostat applications have driven new demand for a
standardized, low data rate, wireless technology that works well in remote sensor and control applications. As a
result, the IEEE 802.15.4
