'Tools such as Daintree's are critical to helping our customers go from design to operational systems', said Brett Black, Wireless Connectivity Operations Manager, microcontroller Division of Freescale Semiconductor.
'Daintree's tools extend the capabilities of Freescale's BeeStackT and associated tools, dramatically accelerating our customers' design and installation productivity'.
'Texas Instruments and Daintree have co-operated in the past to enable customers to develop their ZigBee Solutions', said Kobus Marneweck, General Manager, Low-Power RF Software Development at Texas Instruments.
'We believe Daintree's commissioning solution will provide our customers with the tools required to deploy large-scale ZigBee networks'.
A beta version of this solution was previewed in early April at the ZigBee Alliance Developers Conference in San Jose.
During this exercise, participants gained hands-on commissioning experience when they created a ZigBee network using boards from Ember, Freescale Semiconductor, and Texas Instruments.
Daintree will again be demonstrating the SNA's commissioning capabilities at the ZigBee Alliance Open House and Exhibition in Paris, France.
Daintree's commissioning tool is available now as a new release of the Professional Edition of the Sensor Network Analyser.
Existing users of the Professional Edition with support entitlements can access a no-charge upgrade to their existing version.
