<p>There has been a quick development in the wireless network area during the last decade. Mostly </p><p>these days the focus in the wireless area is on very high speed and long range applications. This </p><p>thesis describes how ZigBee is suitable for wireless sensor networks in logistic telemetry </p><p>applications for global managing and monitoring of goods. ZigBee has been developed by the </p><p>organization named as ‘ZigBee Alliance’ as a new wireless standard for the wireless solutions </p><p>based upon the IEEE 802.15.4 Standard [2]. ZigBee is a new technology as compared to the other </p><p>wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, but it has certain characteristics such as low cost, low </p><p>power, support for mesh networking e.t.c which makes its chances to be more successful than </p><p>others. </p><p> </p><p>The other aim of this thesis is to examine different issues related to ZigBee to see its fitness for </p><p>logistic telemetry applications like multi-hop routing issues, routing strategies and design </p><p>requirements. ZigBee is relatively new wireless technology, so there are great deals of promises </p><p>associated with it. In this thesis, a comparison between ZigBee and Bluetooth technologies will </p><p>also be made.</p>
