The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, simply known as the Miraikan, is a museum created by Japan's Science and Technology Agency. It was opened in 2001. It is situated in a purpose-built building in the Odaiba District of Tokyo. In the video, I am visiting Miraikan, the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan. I explore various exhibits spread across multiple floors of the museum, focusing on emerging technologies and scientific innovations. The first floor introduces the museum, showing a ticket purchase and an overview of the building. I take an escalator to the next floor where I check descriptions of the different floors and their themes. I am excited about the exhibits and mention a gift shop. The second floor is described as a special floor not accessible to the public, while the third floor features a kids' zone and information stands. I explore the "Create Your Future" exhibit, which focuses on envisioning a prosper...

Zigbee vs. Z-Wave: Which Mesh Protocol Wins in Smart IoT?

-
Image
When it comes to building a reliable smart home or IoT network, Zigbee and Z-Wave are two names you can't avoid. Both offer mesh networking. Both prioritize low power consumption. Both promise simple device-to-device communication. But which one is better for your needs? Let's break it down clearly. 1. Frequency Band Zigbee: Operates mainly at 2.4 GHz (globally) but can use sub-GHz in some regions. Z-Wave: Works at sub-GHz frequencies (around 800-900 MHz depending on the region). Impact: Z-Wave’s lower frequency means less interference (since Wi-Fi and Bluetooth crowd 2.4 GHz). Zigbee's 2.4 GHz can face more noise but offers higher data rates. 2. Device Ecosystem Zigbee: Huge ecosystem. Brands like Philips Hue, Amazon Echo, and Samsung SmartThings rely on it. Z-Wave: Smaller, but highly curated ecosystem with strict interoperability standards. Impact: Zigbee offers more choices, but sometimes devices from different vendors don't play perfectly together. Z-Wave has...
