Overview

Image: Summary of ZigNET

This is a multi-hop wireless sensor network that does not require a permit and can cover an area of about 10 km. This is a mesh network that uses the same 2.4-GHz wireless band as LAN-Bluetooth*, is resistant to communication faults, is easily expanded, and has low power consumption, so it is ideal for monitoring and control.

What is a multi-hop wireless network?

  • Passing through other terminals allows for communication over a wider area
  • Autonomous networks are constructed
  • If a ZigStation terminal is installed, it is automatically incorporated into the network, and when a fault occurs, it automatically switches to another route.
