About the Zigbee specification

Zigbee is an open global standard for low-power, low-cost, low-data-rate, wireless mesh networking based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard. It represents a network layer above the 802.15.4 layers to support advanced mesh routing capabilities. The Zigbee specification is developed by a consortium of companies that make up the Zigbee Alliance. The alliance is made up of over 300 members, including semiconductor, module, stack, and software developers. For more information, see http://www.zigbee.org/.
