Next-generation platform comes to ZigBee

A new generation of wireless semiconductors and software aims to help companies create ZigBee-compliant wireless products significantly faster, easier and more profitably.

The next generation of wireless semiconductors and software unveiled by Ember Corporation aims to help companies create ZigBee-compliant wireless products significantly faster, easier and more profitably than current first-generation offerings.

Today's announcement includes the EM250, the world's first ZigBee "system-on-a-chip;" Ember's second-generation ZigBee software stack called EmberZNet 2.0 (which is also its fifth generation mesh networking stack); as well as new software tools for rapid application development and debugging.

ZigBee is a wireless network standard that solves the unique needs of remote monitoring and control, and sensor network applications.

The Ember EM250 is the first 802.15.4-based semiconductor system built to be ZigBee
