July 23, 2008 — Alex Leonov, Director of Marketing Communications of Moscow-based MeshNetics, shares why wireless sensor networks solve challenges for building management. MeshNetics has announced a new product in the 900 MHz range for ZigBee. Tell us why people should pay attention to that. LEONOV: ZigBee is a great technology. It is the first standard for wireless sensor networks and has been doing great over the last few years. The majority of the ZigBee solutions to date were based on 2.4 GHz band, which is a worldwide band and has definite advantages; but ZigBee is also designed to have another frequency band, which is sub GHz. Now, 2.4 GHz, there is a lot going on in that band, isn’t that correct? Does ZigBee have any issues with being the 2.4 band?
