Answer» ZigBee 1.1 will include two stack profiles:
- ‘ZigBee’ (formerly ‘Home Controls’) targets simpler, smaller networks that typically operate in a residential environment. Addressing is performed in a tree fashion, security implementation is fairly simple, and application bindings take place in the coordinator in a centralized manner. The corresponding specification is now complete.
- ‘ZigBee Pro’ (formerly ‘COMMERCIAL, Industrial and Institutional’) targets LARGER and more sophisticated networks. Addressing and ROUTING are more SCALABLE, security is more robust, and advanced features such as multicast are included. Also, ‘ZigBee Pro’ aims at providing minimal reliance on the coordinator through DISTRIBUTED application bindings. The corresponding specification should be complete by end 2006.
