Airbee Wireless and Nanotron Technologies Announce Partnership.ROCKVILLE, Md. & BERLIN -- Airbee Wireless (OTC OTC See: Over-the-counter. OTC See over-the-counter market (OTC). Other:ABEW) and Nanotron Technologies GmbH today announced that they have executed a partnership agreement to provide a complete software and hardware solution for the wireless sensor networking “WSN” redirects here. For the metasyntax, see Wirth syntax notation. A wireless sensor network (WSN) is a wireless network consisting of spatially distributed autonomous devices using sensors to cooperatively monitor physical or environmental conditions, such as market. This teaming will simplify the time-to-market engineering for integrators and OEMs to deploy wireless mesh See wireless mesh network. sensor networks through the use of embedded mesh networking Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes. It allows for continuous connections and reconfiguration around broken or blocked paths by “hopping” from node to node until the destination is reached. software from Airbee on Nanotron's radio platforms. Developing a mesh networking solution is much more complicated than putting all of the pieces together. To ensure successful implementation, it is imperative to rely on partners who have the knowledge of the architecture, capability of assessing design options at the chip and module levels and evaluating numerous practical issues identifiable to applications. Airbee has developed embedded ZigBee software technology. The Airbee-ZNS stack has been certified by the ZigBee Alliance to the 1.0 specification. Airbee is currently working on other platforms such TI's MSP (1) (Management Service Provider or Managed Service Provider) An organization that manages a customer's computer systems and networks which are either located on the customer's premises or at a third-party datacenter. 430 and has the ability to develop applications on both multi-vendor and single vendor platform solutions. Nanotron recently announced nanoLOC, its first location-aware transceiver. NanoLOC joins nanoNET in the family of products which deliver the benefits of Chirp See chirped pulse and CHRP.

Applications such as logistics, industrial monitoring and control, medical and security see great benefits from nanoLOC and CSS. "Nanotron's radio technology is proven in difficult applications, and they are the only company to offer an accurate, low-power location solution combined with global data communication," said Raj Sundaresan, CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization.

This partnership opens the door for 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 manufacturers, Integrators and large end-users to quickly deploy and commission turnkey wireless sensor networks with immediate returns," he said. "Airbee's wireless mesh networking (1) A network that relies on all nodes to propagate signals. Although the wireless signal may start at some base station (access point) attached to a wired network, a wireless mesh network extends the transmission distance by relaying the signal from one computer to another. solutions integrated with Nanotron radio technology provides compelling value for deploying large scale wireless sensor networks," said Jens Albers, CEO of Nanotron. "This integrated solution adds an important part of the wireless value-chain. Both partners are stronger and closer to customers across the global market," he added. The two companies will participate in joint marketing efforts and mutually seek opportunities within the OEM market where sensor product companies are looking to utilize a ZigBee or ZigBee-based solution for low power mesh sensor networks which are location-aware.
