AeroComm Announces 'ZigBee Your Way,' Based on Texas Instruments' CC2430 True SoC Solution.LENEXA, Kan. -- AeroComm Inc., the most established global supplier of complete RF solutions for OEMs, presents a breakthrough for industrial wireless performance: the ZB2430 "ZigBee Your Way(TM)" Transceiver. Based on the Texas Instruments See TI. (company) Texas Instruments - (TI) A US electronics company. A TI engineer, Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit in 1958. Three TI employees left the company in 1982 to start Compaq. leading-edge 802.15.4 System-on-Chip and Z-Stack(TM) technology, ZB2430 provides OEMs with industry-defining wireless performance in the areas of power consumption, integration, range, features and functionality. ZB2430 is ideal for power-restricted industrial and commercial applications. The module's receive and power-down mode performance are unrivalled by any comparable ZigBee module available today. Two output-power options versions suit varying needs: ZB2430 for battery-powered communication, and ZB2430-100 (100mW) for extended communication range. With Texas Instruments' embedded Z-Stack(TM) firmware, ZB2430 is aimed squarely at secure, low-power, mesh network A communications network in which there are at least two pathways to each node. If one of the paths fails, the other is still available. A "fully meshed" network means that every node has a direct connection to every other node, which is a very elaborate and expensive architecture. applications. Modules are offered as either Coordinators & Routers (Full Function Devices) or End-Devices (Reduced Function Devices). Network scan, auto-configuration, dynamic routing The ability for a router to forward data via a different route based on the current conditions of the communications circuits. For example, it can adjust for overloaded traffic or failing lines and is much more flexible than static routing, which uses a fixed forwarding path. , discovery and security enable the mesh network, delivering reliable redundancy, secure multi-communication nodes and long-range performance. Additionally, the standard 128 KB of embedded flash memory provides room for larger, more complex application profiles. ZB2430 communicates in the 2.4GHz ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical band) A part of the radio spectrum that can be used by anybody without a license in most countries. In the U.S., the 902-928 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.7-5. , making it ideal for OEMs preferring to standardize on one global platform for their end product needs. AeroComm also introduces ZigBee Your Way for OEMs wishing to customize and optimize a hardware solution that meets the specific demands of their application. Options will include antenna, sensitivity, interface, output power, and remote radio configuration, to name a few. Highlights of the ZB2430 include: --Industry's first SoC ZigBee compliant transceiver module --Best-in-class power consumption performance --Small surface-mountable package with modular FCC (1) (Federal Communications Commission, Washington, DC, www.fcc.gov) The U.S. government agency that regulates interstate and international communications including wire, cable, radio, TV and satellite. The FCC was created under the U.S. approval for high-volume OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and integration --Reliable ZigBee mesh architecture --2.4GHz band for Global Applications --128 KB flash memory --Battery monitor, temperature sensor, timer --128 bit AES encryption and Security Service Provider --Customizable solutions... ZigBee Your Way(TM) --Multiple antenna configurations "Manufacturers have made it clear that low power consumption, range and reliable communication are vital for wireless sensor see mote. functionality," said Bruce Havemeier, AeroComm's director of business development. "Collaborating with Texas Instruments, we optimized the performance of the CC2430 addressing all of these key issues to present our customers with the newest RF integration and flexibility available."

Michael Varady added, "While ZigBee is not the panacea for all wireless applications, the technology presents a viable solution for OEMs who need very low power consumption, mesh architecture, an industry standard, and quick time-to-market. Our best-in-class ZigBee transceiver will quickly define benchmarks for ZigBee RF performance."
