    ZigBee technique is the common wireless network approaches for many smart indoor management applications such as home energy management or building management system. However, the application of ZigBee for outdoor applications is still not mature since the characteristic of signal strength depends on the outdoor conditions. To solve this issue, the received signal strength index (RSSI) and packet delivery are measured in real outdoor conditions for wireless neighborhood area network (WNAN) planning and optimization. Unfortunately, these important data are usually not publicly available for academic use. In this data article, RSSI data and packet delivery rate of a wireless network based on ZigBee 2.4 GHz are collected at the on-street condition, considering the effect of moving and stopping vehicles. In addition, the transmission ranges at two module location levels are also collected. The data provided in this article will help to estimate the transmission range, avoid the interferences and adjust the power level of ZigBee devices for many outdoor applications.
