ZigBee

ZigBee is a specification for a suite of high level communication protocols using small, low-power digital radios based on the IEEE 802.15.4-2003 standard for wireless personal area networks (WPANs), such as wireless headphones connecting with cell phones via short-range radio. The technology defined by the ZigBee specification is intended to be simpler and less expensive than other WPANs, such as Bluetooth. ZigBee is targeted at radio-frequency (RF) applications that require a low data rate, long battery life, and secure networking.

 

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a class of wireless local area network (WLAN) devices based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Today, a Wi-Fi device is installed in many personal computers, video game consoles, smartphones, printers, and other peripherals, and virtually all laptop or palm-sized computers. Wi-Fi is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, a global, non-profit association of companies that promotes WLAN technology and certifies products.
