Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) refers to uniquely identifiable objects and their virtual representations of an Internet like structures. The main goal of the IoT is to make the sense the information of the computing device without the need of human interaction. Zigbee Wireless sensor node is a communication protocol which is used to transmit data over long distances by passing data through the intermediate devices to cover longer distant and provides secure networking. It can be used anywhere at any time. It requires less power to operate and it can be implemented easily with any type of wireless generation. 4G (Fourth Generation) is the next generation of wireless networks and it can provide fast and secure data transfer. Speed of 4G can be achieved by OFDM modulation and it will utilize most of the existing wireless communication infrastructure. World Wide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is wireless technology and it provides wireless data over long distance. WiMAX provides a media access control (MAC) and proposes the full range of security features to secured data exchange. It transmits the data at 70 Mbps. In this paper, Zigbee Wireless sensor nodes real time data transmission integrated with 4G Technology for long distance Secure Communication with high mobility is proposed and analyzed using OPNET. The performance such as delay, data sent, Jitter and end-to-end delay and packet delay variation are simulated
