Wellspring releases ZigBee[TM] wireless radio prototype.Wellspring well·spring n. 1. The source of a stream or spring. 2. A source: a wellspring of ideas. wellspring Noun International Inc., a provider of wireless, point-of-use utility submeters. released a 2.4 gigahertz One billion cycles per second. See GHz. (unit) GigaHertz - (GHz) Billions of cycles per second. The unit of frequency used to measure the clock rate of modern digital logic, including microprocessors. ZigBee[TM] wireless radio technology, ready prototype design, consummating a development agreement with Ember Corp. to bring ZigBee technology to Wellspring's Aqura wireless submetering system. Ember a developer of wireless semiconductor solutions and "ZigBee Alliance" promoter, has agreed to supply Wellspring with its Ember chipset, firmware A category of memory chips that hold their content without electrical power. Firmware includes flash, ROM, PROM, EPROM and EEPROM technologies. When holding program instructions, firmware can be thought of as "hard software." See flash memory, ROM, PROM, EPROM, EEPROM and FOTA. and advanced development tools for use in Wellspring's next-generation Aqura wireless submetering system. Wellspring is the first submetering company to adopt ZigBee technology. ZigBee is a wireless, standards-based radio technology that addresses the unique needs of remote monitoring (protocol) remote monitoring - (RMON) A network management protocol that allows network information to be gathered at a single computer. Whereas SNMP gathers network data from a single type of Management Information Base (MIB), RMON 1 defines nine additional MIBs that provide a and control, and sensory network applications. ZigBee enables broad-based deployment of low-cost, battery-operated wireless networks much like the one Wellspring currently employs but with two-way communication Two-way communication is a form of transmission in which both parties involved transmit information. Common forms of two-way communication are:
