zigbee vs xbee vs pro vs mesh ??


i'm confused.

what real difference between xbee , zigbee?  is xbee zigbee implementation?

what zigbee pro?

which versions have mesh capabilities?  can clear air?

also, alternatives there xbee?  does else make inexpensive models/chipsets interesting?

zigbee , xbee same thing.

the zigbee radios come in several styles. series 1 , series 2 radios. there regular , pro versions of each series. there 3 different antenna choices each of 4 styles.

the series 1 radios used point-to-point networking. is, each radio configured talk 1 or more other radios (generally one), , listen 1 or more other radios (generally one). not form multi-path networks well.

the series 2 radios mesh networking. may usable point-to-point radios, couldn't 3 talk each other. 1 listen bunch of others, , others talk one, not two-way communication work. might have better luck.

zigbees not choice radios, ones know of allow direct connection of input , output devices (sensors, motors, leds, etc.) , ones try assure messages through un-garbled). implement protocol, similar tcp/ip enables them communicate success or failure receive packet, checksum processing, , re-transmission in event of failure.

with other radios, need implement these features yourself, if need them. and, do, or wouldn't sending data , forth.
