I missed the live lectures last December, but it's great to be able to catch up with the archives. I'm very interested with the security aspects of Zigbee.
On slide 6, how do you square up the fact that Zigbee is supposed to be low power, and yet the radio is listening to all the channels all the time for collision avoidance?

BEacon allows teh pan coordinator to do the bulk of transmission and network upkeep in a star network. Is VERY power efficient for the endpoints, as the xmit / receive is minimized
I admit that I don't know DigiKey's current offerings on development, but will have the answers Friday at the session on develoment!
To develop something for in-house, educational, or personal use, there are NO FEES. Only if you are going to sell something
For more info on ZigBee, go to ZigBee.org or tune in the next three days!

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
