When designing monitoring or control devices that will communicate over wireless networks, there are currently two alternatives to consider: IEEE 802.11 a/b/g WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) and ZigBee. Although they were originally designed for very different purposes, they each offer distinct advantages for wireless machine-to-machine (M2M) communications.
You can find a comparison of WLAN-based vs Zigbee-based M2M networks here.
