MeshNetics, a provider of ZigBee modules and embedded software for OEMs and system integrators, announced at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, Calif., the successful completion of the ZigBee PRO certification of the company's line of ZigBit RF modules. The ZigBit modules already lead the industry in such important characteristics as range performance, power consumption, and compact form factor, states the company. The ZigBee PRO compliance of MeshNetics ZigBeeNet stack software, verified by National Technical Systems (NTS), a ZigBee qualified testing lab, ensures that the latest ZigBee PRO feature set is available in combination with the best-in-class hardware performance. “The recent ZigBee PRO certification of our ZigBeeNet stack comes as a logical continuation of our ‘single vendor’ approach,” says Alexey Rybakov, managing director, MeshNetics ZigBit Business Unit. “That means when a customer buys a ZigBee module from us, they receive a complete package that includes the hardware, software and technical support — all from a single source. So far MeshNetics is the only ZigBee module vendor who can offer this.” The new ZigBeeNet embedded software stack provides a software development platform for reliable, scalable and secure wireless applications running on MeshNetics ZigBit modules. ZigBeeNet is designed to support a broad ecosystem of user-designed applications addressing diverse requirements and enabling a full spectrum of software customization. Primary application areas include smart energy, home automation, commercial building automation, automated meter reading, asset tracking and industrial automation. Incorporating three years’ worth of wireless system design experience, field work, and actual user feedback, the ZigBeeNet stack offers full ZigBee PRO functionality without sacrificing developer’s convenience and ease-of-use. ZigBeeNet’s target audience is system designers, embedded programmers and hardware engineers evaluating, prototyping, and deploying wireless solutions and products built around the ZigBit hardware platform.
