1. Pag. Zigbee Hardware Advantages: Low power mesh network Both modules and router available from Digi, can easily be interfaced with any MCU Proven technology Disadvantages: Need to write own address translation between IPv4 and Zigbee nodes or use Idigi (paying) Programming gateway in Python + limited hardware resources => limited scalability 3/1/ 12 1 Herhaling titel van presentatie Digi Connectport X2 Digi Xbee PRO modules

2. Pag. 6LoWPAN Advantages: Scalability: billions of nodes (3,4 * 10 38 addresses) Low power mesh network based on 802.15.4 Ability to run on memory and processing power constrained devices Allows to use IPv6 in whole architecture without address translation Backed by IPSO alliance (consortium of leading technology and communication companies) 3/1/ 12 2 Herhaling titel van presentatie
