Things certainly seem to be progressing forward for ZigBee technology. With industry biggies like Texas Instruments, Siemens AG, and STMicroelectronics joining the ZigBee Alliance this year, and with the technology finding homes in applications ranging from monitoring temperature controllers and security systems to (potentially) cellphones, the momentum for the acceptance of ZigBee into the mainstream is not that far away.
In addition, it looks like ZigBee supporters are going about it the right way in making sure that the technology works in the applications it was originally targeted for and, when indications are that it has, then that is the time to look to expand its range.
