Due to its low -power consumption, low -cost, self-organization and powerful
ability to route data, ZigBee, an emerging wireless network technology, has
plenty of applications; GPRS (general packet radio service) network, a
convenient way to access Internet, covers widely nowadays.
This paper combines GPRS and ZigBee to establish a multi-mode network
structure which employs GPRS as the data transmission device in the
widearea while ZigBee in the local area.
This kind of network structure, providing a simple way to setup wireless
network between terminal equipment, remote devices and personal stuff, will
make the data servicing people freely.
