ZigBee
Based on IEEE 802.15.4 standard, ZigBee was developed for the purpose of
sending small amounts
of data, short distances, using very little power. Key features of this technology is the ability to
create a self healing mesh network where nodes “talk” to each other in
a way that gets a
message to a desired end point using the best path. When not in use, nodes will “sleep”
using
extremely little power.
Frequency: 2.4 GHz
Encryption: Yes
Network Size: 64k
Battery Life: Years
Speed: 250 kBs
SNAP
This high-performance stack is designed to run efficiently on cost-effective 8-bit microprocessors.While
providing full mesh capabilities, SNAP has a very small memory
footprint of only 40 KB,
thereby leaving more space for user applications. The SNAP stack includes a Python virtual machine (the
combination of SNAP and Python is referred to as SNAPpy ). End-user
wireless applications
are compiled into processor-independent "byte code" that is run on the SNAPpy virtual machine. This
means that the same application can be run on any processor without the need for recompilation.

WirelessHART
The wireless version of the HART protocol most used in
the automation and industrial applications which require real time. It
uses Time Synchronized Mesh Protocol (TSMP ). A "time coordinator" node is
required in order to assign the time slot to all the motes. Radios comply with IEEE 802.15.4-2006
is a robust technology that is simple to implement. It enables users to quickly and easily gain
the benefits of wireless technology while maintaining compatibility with existing HART devices, tools
and systems.
