This technology has proven to be the new horizon for researchers having curiosity in the field of wireless radio networks.

From factories to the home automation, this technology offers a wide range of applications and the deployment in the various areas like healthcare, agriculture, and education. ZigBee is the exceptional wireless technology that uses 2.4 GHz and sub-GHX-frequency bands. In lieu of high data rate and more functionality, ZigBee is considered popular in all the eyes because of its dramatic low depletion of power that yields low cost and high efficiency. IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee were specially designed for WSN and Wireless Network Monitoring (WNM). Therefore, this need led to a technology with peculiarity of low power consumption, high amount of reliability, and efficiency in addition to the cost effectiveness. With the rapid growth of wireless technology, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) were recognized as a convalescent form of wireless mechanism. This emergence gave birth to a number of complexities and entanglements under different circumstances. Modern communication systems have engrossed the troublesome handling and usage of wires in communication networks and promoted the idea of wireless network with time. Eventually, we suggest a suitable frame size for ZigBee based on our results deduced from the experimental study. This paper presents the novel experimental analysis conducted on real test beds to evaluate the impact of continuously changing communication environment on various parameters, for example, RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) and latency in the presence of multiple obstacles that may lead to severe degradation in the overall performance. Despite its robust communication nature, it heavily depends upon the context and is prone to the external effects that may cause a serious threat to prospective applications. Even after a decade of its emergence, it has been well serving the communication needs of numerous modern applications belonging to multiple industries and is still a spotlight for the researchers working on certain aspects to enhance productivity along with a major cost reduction. Being self-configured, self-organized, and self-healing low power technology, ZigBee has obtained significant attention in last few years for achieving ubiquitous communication among various devices within a Personal Area Network (PAN).
