Question

Z-Wave and Zigbe use a _______________ networking topology to facilitate communication in homes, yet both also have hubs that act as the network interconnect.

Answer 1

Answer: Mesh

Explanation:

Mesh network is network topology in which network nodes are directly connected with infrastructure nodes in active manner without following any hierarchy. This interconnection is made for continuous transmission of data through the network path.It can work even if any particular connection or node faces fault.

• Z-wave commonly uses mesh topology for connecting the nodes to facilitate the home devices in wireless manner along with hub.
• Zigbee also uses mesh topology for proving services at low cost to homes and other areas in wireless form also having router or hub as the linking device.
