Z-Wave is a reliable and robust wireless technology found specifically in home automation. Unlike other standards that rely on heavily trafficked 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks that already contain WLAN and other technologies, Z-Wave uses a sub-GHz frequency. The likelihood of interference on the Z-Wave network is much lower than other home automation standards. Advantages of Z-Wave are:
- Z-Wave uses a frequency below 1 GHz, avoiding the heavily congested 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.
- Provides secure and reliable two-way communication with message confirmation and mesh networking.
- Z-Wave ensures 100% interoperability.
