Airbee and ZMD deliver 900 MHz zigBee technology
Airbee Wireless has executed a license agreement with Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden to provide ZigBee compliant and ZigBee based network protocol stacks (ZNS and ZNS Lite)
Airbee's intelligent networking solutions adhere to ZigBee specifications and represent the industry's premier hardware-independent software products.
Airbee's embedded ZNS ZigBee product has the capability to operate on any microcontroller and IEEE802.15.4 radio solution.
Compliant with the IEEE802.15.4 standard, the ZMD44102 operates in both the licence-free North American band of 902 to 928MHz and in the European band of 868 to 870MHz.
It features superior range performance of over 250 meters at 0dBm output power and has ultra-low-power modes of operation, including a network management power mode using less than 3mA.
'We are committed to delivering software solutions to the leaders of the ZigBee community and by partnering with ZMD we are able to provide high quality ZigBee software solutions in the 900MHz arena', said Raj Sundaresan, Airbee's CEO.
Kory Brown, VP of ZMD's Wireless Division, added: 'When combined with Airbee's ZNS stack built on TI's MSP430 MCU, the ZMD44102 gives customers what they demand today: networking, and low power operation, and communication range'.
'This is yet another step in making a one-stop solution possible and early time to market achievable'.
