Abstract
Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the use of cables or any other forms of electrical conductors. The related technologies that are being used in wireless communication include Radio Broadcast, Global Positioning System (GPS), Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi), Infrared, Satellite, Microwave and Bluetooth which use internet mode and not cost friendly except Bluetooth. This paper aimed at designing a wireless communication for networked computer systems using ZigBee technology. The architecture of the technology is divided into two sections: the master and the slaves, the sections would communicate with master acting as transmitter and slaves acting as receiver and vice-versa (but addressed to master). The transmitter is connected to the handheld device (Android Phone) via Bluetooth then the message is routed through the microcontroller to the ZigBee module with proper addressing wrapped with the messages then broadcasted. The receivers (slaves which are networked) got the message which is trapped by ZigBee module. Then decoded first by microcontroller if matches then post the packet for the main message and sent to PCs via RS232 protocol but if doesn’t match it is discarded (every slave has a unique identification (ID). In terms of area of coverage, number of nodes connected and cost of installation, the ZigBee technology offered a better performance than other technologies such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Hence, it would be recommended that it is used and applied in the field of Communication and Networks.
