Zigbee: Calling all Software

Realizing the potential of ZigBee in applications will depend on a new, creative generation of software just starting to be developed. An enhanced version of the specification is ready to go, and developers can begin working with tools today to produce better, more robust applications. David walks through some ideas for ZigBee software developers.

With a new release of the ZigBee specification just announced to members on September 27 (see sidebar), ZigBee is about to pass the tipping point as the wireless network standard to meet the needs of sensors and control devices.
