Warm Up

Greetings everyone! My name is Burak Bolukbasi. I am a master student in Broadband Telecommunication Technologies track at Eindhoven University of Technology. This blog is devoted to the course entitled as Regulations and Standards for Wireless Communication. I will try to introduce you ZigBee Remote Control standard, give technical details and answer why and how it is developed in an alliance. As the last part, I will evaluate the standard and try to point out whether it will be succesful or not.

    Dear Burak,

    Again a zigbee student. For years it stayed silent around Zigbee. Now al of a sudden it has the full attention of (my) students.
    Could you maybe explain a bit: Why?

    I like the remote control and its standardisation process.
    But Why Zigbee for this application? Why zigbee is there a problem with normal (IR) remote controls?
    Is it going to be a success? Why are you focussing on security (not many words there as yet)?
    So at this moment more questions than anwers,

    Kind regards,
    Jan Smits

    Dear Mr Smits,

    Thanks for your feedback. As I have pointed out in my first post, I was planning to give technical details and introduce the standard first. That part is complete as you might also guess. Henceforth, I will deal with why&how questions and evaluation of the standard. I hope you will enjoy more.

    Let me also express the factors that led me to zigbee. This is the first time that I have found a chance to examine zigbee. So, curiosity is the first factor. In May 2011, I finished a course on RF and we were designing a low power transceiver. As a result, an interest in low power architectures has occurred. Zigbee has a very large span from medical applications to smart energy, automation to smart homes, remote control to telecom services; and it proposes interesting scenarios such as home theater experience(which I will mention in my future posts). It is very likely that zigbee pulls attraction of students with this large diversity and with so called "greener" architecture.

    Sincerely,

    Burak Bolukbasi
