This empirical study reveals critical performance trade-offs between Zigbee and Matter over Thread protocols for IoT deployments: Zigbee excels in small-scale, static environments with lower latency and faster recovery, while Matter over Thread delivers superior scalability and stability across multi-hop, complex networks. For IT organizations, this finding is strategically significant as it challenges the industry's unified interoperability push, indicating that protocol selection must be driven by specific deployment requirements rather than ecosystem consolidation. Organizations must evaluate their smart home and IoT infrastructure against these performance dimensions to avoid architectural mismatches that could compromise reliability and responsiveness.
