"Just the Facts" Blog Series - Part 1: IEEE 802.15.4—Foundational IoT Networking
We’re kicking off a new blog series exploring the key technologies behind today’s wireless IoT solutions. The first article, written by Tom Carpenter, takes a deep dive into IEEE 802.15.4—a standard that quietly powers protocols like Zigbee, Thread, and WirelessHART.
✔️ Understand how IEEE 802.15.4 defines the PHY and MAC layers (OSI Layers 1 & 2)
✔️ Explore its flexible use of frequency bands: 2.4 GHz, sub-GHz, and UWB
✔️ Learn about the supported data rates and modulation types (O-QPSK, BPSK)
✔️ See how it's applied in smart buildings, agriculture, industrial automation, and more
To complement the blog, we've included a "Just the Facts" infographic—a concise reference guide perfect for wireless educators and network professionals needing quick insights.
