Bluetooth与ZigBee的比较分析
Bluetooth and ZigBee have much in common. Both are types of IEEE “ the ZigBee Alliance, a consortium of technology companies.
　　Imagine the freedom if light switches were to become wireless, eliminating the electrical cabling through your walls, for example.
　　Bluetooth, as you likely know, eliminates cabling between electronic products and accessories, such as between computers and printers or between phones and headsets. Bluetooth users with handhelds or laptops can exchange files, business cards and calendar appointments. Bluetooth is more oriented toward user mobility and eliminating short-distance cabling; ZigBee aims more for grand-scale automation and remote control.










　　The first ZigBee products are now in interoperability testing through April, says Virk, who expects alliance-certified products to be available in the third quarter (when he says CompXs will ship a ZigBee protocol analyzer). Industry reports imply that, eventually, ZigBee might be built into mobile phones via dual-function ZigBee-Bluetooth chips for remote control of nearly anything you can think of and for buying items from vending machines.
　　Finally, for the geeks among us, Virk pointed out some technical d
