 Other:ABEW), an industry innovator of low power RF software solutions. Today announced a new product that will enable low power RF mesh applications such as ZigBee and other mesh networks. The new application is called Airbee-OS. Airbee-OS is a platform independent task based Real Time Operating System A master control program that can provide immediate response to input signals and transactions. See real time system and embedded Linux.  (RTOS (1) (RealTime Operating System) An operating system designed for use in a real time computer system.

 context switching scheduler based OS uses the resources of the microcontrollers optimally to deliver a powerful yet economical solution for application developments on embedded systems.

The Airbee-OS can support a maximum of 16 tasks. The user sets the priority for execution of a task. The OS executes the highest priority task that is ready for execution. The idle time The duration of time a device is in an idle state, which means that it is operational, but not being used.  task gets the least priority.

The inter task messaging is done through a mailbox concept. An event in a task posts a message for other tasks in the mailbox. After switching to a new task the mailbox is accessed to retrieve the posted messages.

There are many tiny OS products on the market but few if any have been exclusively designed for low power RF mesh networks. This breakthrough approach is going to be critical for low-cost mesh networks such as ZigBee and UWB (Ultra-WideBand) A wireless technology that uses less power and provides higher speed than 802.11 Wi-Fi networks or first-generation Bluetooth products. UWB is expected to provide wireless video transmission for home theater systems, cable TV, auto safety and . "The features of our Airbee-OS provide a versatile solution for embedded system designs," said David McCartney, Vice President, Marketing and Sales for Airbee.

Airbee has developed ZigBee and other low power RF mesh software technology and has productized it as Airbee-ZNS ZigBee stack and several applications. The Airbee ZNS ZNS Zentrales Nervensystem (German: Central Nervous System)
