Proposal

• ZigBee proposes that IEEE 802.15 SG4a address the
  following applications
• Industrial monitors, sensors, automation and
  control
• Logistics assets in vehicles, drive-by drop
  boxes, road toll payment, on lot fleet tracking
• PC and Peripherals mouse, joysticks, game
  consoles, audio
• Building automation
• Meter reading

Proposal

• ZigBee proposes that IEEE 802.15 SG4a address the
  following application requirements
• Robustness against interference improved
• PHY ranging (possible for upper layers to
  improve) of
• 1.5 meters accuracy e.g. Residential Automation,
  Meter Reading, Asset tracking
• 0.5 meters accuracy e.g. Building Automation,
  High value asset tracking
• Mobility
• 35-40 mph e.g. Meter Reading, Drop Box UPS,
  FEDEX, Container tracking
• 80 mph e.g. Toll Booths
• Greater range / link margin
• 100 meters or more outdoor line of sight
• Latency
• Less than 17 msec each with 8 users
• Higher data rate
• 500 Kbps 1 Mbps

Proposal

• ZigBee proposes that IEEE 802.15 SG4a address the
  following requirements
• A globally deployable solution
• A solution that is compatible / interoperable
  with 802.15.4
• Longer range
• Higher reliability
