Abstract
The aim is to create a wireless interface device that enables transmission of data files between two computers using zigbee wireless radio modems over a secured wireless communication channel. The device is capable of transmission of all file format such as text, audio, image and video.

Introduction
ZigBee is an open technology developed by the zigbee Alliance to overcome the limitations of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Zigbee protocol is intended for battery operated devices since it consumes very less power.

ZIGBEE WIRELESS MODEM

The term ZigBee is used to describe a standardized

wireless protocol for personal area networking, or WPAN. The protocol is the work of and property of the ZigBee Alliance, a consortium of more than 70 companies who have joined together to create and promote the new standard

APPLICATIONS

Home networking
Industrial control and management Human and computer interface

Smart dust
Intrusion sensors, motion detectors and

glass break detectors.

CONCLUSION
ZigBee can surely fulfill the requirements of applications having low power consumption along with low and secured data transfers.
It works well for the industrial automation because of its high number of nodes. Zigbee protocol is intended for battery operated devices since it consumes very less power.
