ZigBee 3.0

ZigBee 3.0 employs the ZigBee PRO protocol and is designed to facilitate general wireless networks that are not market-specific. Thus, devices from different market sectors can belong to the same wireless network. For example, lighting and healthcare devices in a hospital may share a single ZigBee network, allowing data to be routed through any intermediate (routing) device, irrespective of the device functionality.

Connecting the network to the Internet brings the devices into the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT), allowing the network devices to be controlled and monitored from IP-based devices such as computers, tablets, and smartphones.
