ZigBee Open House - September 14 in Chicago

ZigBee is holding another event for press, analysts and any interested companies or individuals to come and learn what the ZigBee Alliance is all about. The Open House will begin at 9:00AM, followed by an evening reception. This event is free of charge.

150 members strong, Zigbee is certainly starting to create some "buzz". I truly believe that, if they stay true to their early focus of low power control and telemetry, that Zigbee has a bright future. Zigbee offers the "upper" protocol layers for IEEE 802.15.4 devices to network and interoperate and offers the promise of true "shrinkwrap" wireless consumer products. For now, however, Zigbee has found most of it's successes in industrial applications like container tracking or highrise HVAC and systems.
