1) The document describes building a circuit using a Raspberry Pi that transfers data using the Zigbee protocol and verifies the transmission range of Zigbee. 2) The needed modules are a Raspberry Pi 2, two XBee 1mW Wire Antenna series 1 devices, and two XBee Explorer Dongles. 3) Zigbee uses low power consumption for wireless data transfer over distances of 10-100 meters line-of-sight using a mesh network, making it suitable for sensor networks and industries requiring short-range, low-data applications.
