802.15.4/ZigBee
802.15.4 is a standard specifying the physical layer and media access control for low data-rate wireless personal area networks. Building off of 802.15.4, ZigBee is a wireless protocol that allows users to build medium to large networks of sensors and controllers. ZigBee network devices consist of a coordinator and various end devices and routers.

EM260 ZigBee/802.15.4 Network Processor
The EM260 integrates a 2.4GHz, IEEE 802.15.4-compliant transceiver with a 16-bit network processor (XAP2b core) to run EmberZNet, the Ember ZigBee-compliant network stack. The EM260 exposes access to the EmberZNet API across a standard SPI module, allowing application development on a Host processor. This means that the EM260 can be viewed as a ZigBee peripheral connected over a SPI. The XAP2b microprocessor is a power-optimized core integrated in the EM260. It contains integrated Flash and RAM memory along with an optimized peripheral set to enhance the operation of the network stack.
