3.1 ZigBee network - creation and work

ZigBee is a wireless network based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard and it's communication takes place in the 2.4 GHz band. The network is based on a mesh

topology, which allows for a very large range and high reliability. The maximum range of direct communication between two network nodes (devices)

is about 100m in open space.

The devices included in the ZigBee network are divided into three types:

- coordinator - there can only be one such device in each network. It acts as a connection node for all devices;

- router (repeater) - this device is powered by 230VAC, with functionality similar to classic network routers, and it's task is to forward data packets and

increase the range of the network;

- terminal device - battery powered, sends data to the coordinator (also through the router) to which it is connected. It is usually put to sleep tempora-

rily, which helps reduce energy consumption.

Built-in security in the ZigBee protocol (ISO-27001 and SSAE16 / ISAE 3402 Type II - SOC 2 certification) ensure high transmission reliability, detection

and removal of transmission errors, as well as connectivity between established priority devices.

Security measures include:

- devices authenticated using a unique key pair;

- encrypted communication between the mobile application and the device;

- data encryption - HTTPS encrypted using TLS, UDP channel with AES-128 encryption;

- layered access control to prevent tampering with one device threatening the entire system.

The ability to work many devices at a short distance from each other was achieved through the use of radio transmission of the spread spectrum signal.

The main advantages of devices working in the ZigBee system are two-way communication and minimization of energy consumption, which in many

cases allows them to be powered from chemical cells (alkaline batteries).

Four simple steps

on how to properly create a ZigBee network:

Install coordinator first - UGE600 Universal Gateway

for ONLINE and OFFLINE systems with internet application

or CO10RF for only OFFLINE systems without application.

Next - add any powered 230V AC device.

Note to locate it as near coordinator as possible.

Now you can increase range of the ZigBee network by

adding more 230V AC powered devices.

At the end add more battery powered devices and
