The companies participating in this edition of the ZigBee Resource

Guide are providing a variety of products and services designed to help

people and businesses gain more control of their surroundings, their energy

use and even their lives. These companies are members in the more than

300 member (and growing) ZigBee Alliance. They come from almost

every continent and range from entrepreneurs to multi-national corporations

with household names. Regardless of size, they share a vision for ZigBee and work

together everyday to provide a variety of ingredients needed to create ZigBee products

and reinforce an already enviable supply chain that ensures quality, security, compatibility,

choice and competition.

Open Standards Create OpportunitiesZigBee Alliance members create public application profiles that provide a standard way

of providing new wireless sensing and control solutions. They also allow customers to

purchase ZigBee Certified Products manufactured by different companies with confidence

because these products will work together seamlessly out of the box. The Alliance is

developing a suite of public application profiles to serve the broad needs of several key

markets. For example, ZigBee Smart Energy is a public application profile that is rapidly

becoming the choice for residential energy management and efficiency programs because it

is effective and because it is an open global standard. As a result, it continues gathering

support from governments, regulators, utilities and energy service providers worldwide. At

the beginning of January, 2009, more than 25.3 million ZigBee equipped electric meters are

scheduled to be installed for homes across North America in the coming years. Each home

could be equipped with a number of devices for consumers that help them achieve greater

energy efficiency while saving money. This rapidly growing market opens opportunities for

everyone.

This year, the Alliance expects to complete the development of public application

profiles for telecommunications services, commercial building automation and

personal health care. They will join ZigBee Smart Energy and ZigBee Home

Automation as profiles ready for your product development. Companies interested in

these profiles, or interested in developing new profiles for new markets, are

encouraged to join the Alliance today. ZigBee Alliance membership offers valuable

information on how you can use ZigBee to differentiate your product portfolio. Please

visit www.zigbee.org for the latest list of available public application profiles,

certified products and to join the Alliance.

Control Your WorldZigBee is the global wireless language connecting dramatically different devices

that are designed to improve everyday life. As you will see by the products included in

the ZigBee Resource Guide, the number of products built with ZigBee increases every

year. If your company needs low-cost, low power wireless products that are secure,

self-healing and self-organizing networks, based on a global open standard, then

ZigBee is your technology.

Atmels MCU Wireless product group offers a well balanced

blend of microcontrollers, transceivers and firmware for wireless

applications. With certified IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee and

6LoWPAN standards-based technologies the design will address

the unique needs of low-cost, low-power, low data rate wireless

control and sensor network applications. Atmel's high

performance RF transceivers offer industry best range and

robustness. Adding cutting edge technology and performance

from their low power microcontrollers, Atmel provides a

versatile platform for a wide range of wireless applications.

Atmel's AT86RF230/AT86RF231 are low-power, high-

sensitivity 2.4 GHz transceivers. The -101 dBm receiver

sensitivity and 3 dBm transmit power give it the highest link

budget of any 802.15.4 radio on the market today. The

AT86RF230 has line-of-site range up to 2.8 times that of

competing radios, reducing the total number of nodes

required in the network and cutting 802.15.4 system cost by

as much as 60 percent.

The AT86RF212 700/800/900 MHz IEEE 802.15.4 RF is a

transceiver for low power wireless applications, including

ZigBee. The AT86RF212 offers an industry best RF

performance with a link budget of up to120 dB in the 700 MHz,

800 MHz and 900 MHz ISM bands available in China, Europe

and North America, respectively. The link budget is the result of

the -110 dBm sensitivity offered by the device and the maximum

output power of +10 dBm. The extremely high link budget

combined with the reduced path loss in the 700/800/900 MHz

enables long range wireless communication without the use of

costly external LNA or PA.

Atmel MCU Wireless Solution offers flexibility through the

AVR family of 8-bit RISC microcontrollers, AVR32 32-bit

microcontrollers, and the Smart ARM (SAM) devices. AVR

MCUs have flash memory densities ranging from 1 KB to 512

KB, enabling you to choose from a large number of devices to

find the one suited for your design. With its fast core and

feature rich peripherals, MCU Wireless will be able to offer

both wireless communication and handle main applications.

ZigBit Wireless ModulesAtmel MCU Wireless Solution offers reduced design-in

time through a set compact of pre-tested ZigBit wirelss

modules. ZigBit modules are designed for use in the regional

700/800/900 MHz ISM Bands and 2.4 GHz band available

world wide. The modules holds FCC/CE/ARIB cerfications.

SoftwareA suite of free and certified software is available from

Atmel, ranging from low level drivers (Transceiver Access

Toolbox) to IEEE 802.15.4 MAC, 6LoWPAN and ZigBee

stacks. Choosing Atmel and partners gives you a head start with

ready to use wireless solutions and the shortest time to market

ATAVRRZRAVEN Debugging and Demonstration Kit
