Cirronet Introduces Two 802.15.4 Wireless OEM Modules.DULUTH, Ga. -- Cirronet's extensive wireless 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 product line now includes two new, low-cost OEM modules based on the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.15.4 standard. The LPR See LPR/LPD. lpr - Line printer. The Unix print command. This does not actually print files but rather copies (or links) them to a spool area from where a daemon copies them to the printer. 2400 (1 mW RF power) and LPR2400ER (extended range with 65 mW RF power) operate at 2.4 GHz for wireless communications in industrial and factory applications. Both include a Cirronet Networking Layer that eases integration and adds support for sophisticated networks through a simple-to-use command language. Cirronet is a pioneer provider of wireless modules supporting the ZigBee(TM) standard, which is based on the 802.15.4 specification. The primary difference is that ZigBee provides for mesh networking, whereas 802.15.4 delivers wireless networking via peer-to-peer and star topologies - allowing each to be selected for the type of application to which it is best suited. "Through our deployment of ZigBee solutions, we've learned that many customers need mesh networking, and many don't," said Tim Cutler, Cirronet vice president of marketing. "When an application's needs can be fully addressed by peer-to-peer or star topology networking, customers now have the option of going with a straight 802.15.4 solution." The new modules' Cirronet Networking Layer supports addressable Reachable. When something is addressable, it can be identified and manipulated independently of its surroundings. For example, screen pixels and RAM memory are addressable. Each of the screen's picture elements can be individually turned on and off, and each of the memory's bytes can be , acknowledged point-to-multipoint networks of up to 60 remote radios, as well as transparent point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communications and peer-to-peer communications. The modules completely auto-configure in point-to-point links, and very low power consumption conserves power in battery operation. The modules are small, at just 0.8" x 1.2" for the LPR2400 and 0.8" x 1.6" for the LPR2400ER. Both are 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. and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, Sophia Antipolis technical park, Nice, France, www.etsi.org) A non-profit membership organization founded in 1988, dedicated to standardizing information and communication technologies (ICT) throughout Europe. certified, and are priced at $22 and $36 respectively in single-piece quantities. Developer's kits for both modules are available starting at $199.
