Course Overview
ZigBee Training Course – Hands-on
Using lecture interspersed with lab work, this ZigBee Training Hands-on workshop will help you acquire a thorough understanding of ZigBee operations necessary for creating the next generation wireless sensor solutions, products, and services. You will study the physical layer and the challenges of operating in short range, low power and lossy environments. You will also gain a detailed understanding of the ZigBee protocol stack and key operational messaging between ZigBee devices.
The lab work will require the participants to bring Windows based laptops to the classroom, and it will use the spectrum analyzer Metageek Chanalyzer 4 and the packet analyzer Wireshark.
