ZigBee Network and Protocol Analyzer
ZigBee is the leading standard for smart energy networks, home
automation, sensor networks, and many other exciting applications. ZigBee RF4CE
is dedicated for remote controls and other consumer electronics applications.
The variety of players in this evolving arena - combined with the assortment of
features and options proposed by the standard - can turn the development,
debugging, and rollout of ZigBee solutions under demanding time-to-market
constraints, a big challenge.
Overcoming this challenge, Perytons ZigBee sniffer is an indispensable tool for
development, integration, installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting systems
and products based on the ZigBee protocol. Perytons analyzers combine full
coverage of the 2.4Ghz band with a rich and user-friendly analysis toolbox. Ours
are the only analyzers in the market today that support multi-antenna operation.

Multi-channel networks analysis |
 |
|
| While the free licensed 2.4GHz
band is gaining use by more and more applications and protocols, there is an
increasing demand of using multi-channel protocols. Along with that a
sophisticated tool that allows simultaneous analysis of the channels plays an
important role when trying to develop, deploy and optimize such networks. The
802.15.4 PHY defines 16 possible communication channels in the 2.4Ghz ISM band.
Perytons analyzers capture multiple channels simultaneously, enabling the
analysis of dynamic processes such as “active scan” multiple networks operating
in the same environment, or rogue devices which transmit on the wrong channel.

Reliability |
| Especially when dealing with
tough RF environments, the analysis tool used should reflect the actual network
situation through the data it captures. The Perytons analyzers are unique in the
use of antenna diversity techniques, providing superior reliability through
reducing the number packets lost due to RF indoor multi-path propagation
conditions, and reducing interference from up to 15% to less than 0.1%.
