Will Google’s 6LoWPAN marry Microsoft’s human antenna?

When will this big wedding come true?
Microsoft showed that electromagnetic noise can be used to identify the position of a person in a room, what the person is doing, and even where a hand is placed on a wall. Microsoft’s vision is to dim the light. First applications could be game controllers. More about [...]

EN 300 328 V1.8.1 the end of 802.15.4 ?

Is EN 300 328 V1.8.1 the end of ZigBee, Z-Wave and all other radio protocols riding on 802.15.4?
Does it mean, that we all will deinstall our 804.15.4 based ISM devices? IEEE 802.15.4 divides the 2.4 GHz band into 15 channels. ETSI Draft 1.8.1 requires that a radio system must use at least 15 channels. Now, [...]

Google´s Open Source radio protocol on 6LoWPAN at a glance

Features of Googles Radio protocol

868 / 915 MHz instead of 2400 MHz
Frequency hopping instead of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum like 802.15.4
Licence free 6LoWPAN instead of ZigBee
Open source instead of proprietary

Advantage of Google´s Radio protocol

Better coverage in buildings
End-to-end security if they use IPsec
Proven standard IPv6 plus 6LoWPAN
No NDAs
No approval process to build accessories

Benefits of [...]

Google to control our LED bulbs

Anroid Phones , Android Tablet PCs, Android@Home , Android in Cars, Google in TVs, Google health, Google metering and now Google in our wireless LED blub. And Google is clever and will not use the crowded 2400 MHz Band. They are in the 868 / 915 MHz band.
