 ZigBee (Almost) Arrives
Thus was born the ZigBee Alliance, a consortium of well over 100 companies that looked at what the short range, low power radio frequency (RF) 802.15.4 could do, and built upon it to make something completely interoperable between multiple vendors.
ZigBee's potential means it has to be able to scale from a few nodes in a home to potentially thousands in a commercial building.
ZigBee is facing the same issue now that Wi-Fi has faced in the past many times (and faces again with 802.11n)—companies have already started to release chips and products in a "pre-standard" form.
