If you need an instant wireless network, then ZigBee is the answer

What is a ZigBee Wireless Network?

ZigBee networks can be cluster, star or mesh networks as shown in the diagram.
Each ZigBee network has one device that is setup as a coordinator that controls and initializes the network.
Other devices can either be setup as routers that can pass data or as End Points, that can only have one connection.
End points or Reduced Function Devices can be set to sleep mode so they use very little power and so can be battery operated.
Because of this very low power requirement, ZigBee is ideal for sensor networks or other control applications, which require:

Low to medium data rates
Lots of nodes (up to 65,565)
Easy addition or removal of nodes from network
Robust mesh network that doesn’t fall over if one node fails
Very low power, battery operated equipment

The management software that comes with all Sena ZigBee products makes it very easy to setup the coordinator, routers and end points to create the network.Embedded ZigBee modules are also available, with ADC, digital I/O and serial port interfaces, so a whole network of sensors or control applications can be created.
