AN1417 - Microchip ZigBee® RF4CE Performance under Wi-Fi® Interference

To overcome the limitations of InfraRed (IR) remote control technology, ZigBee® RF4CE specification was first published in May 2009. It quickly became the dominant core technology that drives development of next generation remote control applications. ZigBee RF4CE technology uses IEEE 802.15.4 as its PHYsical (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) layers, and builds network layer on top of them. As one of the first companies that supports a complete ZigBee RF4CE development platform, Microchip Technology provides the most competitive RF4CE solution in the market with eXtreme Low-Power (XLP) microcontrollers, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF transceiver, and ZigBee certified RF4CE protocol stack with the smallest memory footprint in the industry.
