The companies participating in this edition of the ZigBee Resource
Guide are providing a variety of products and services designed to help
people and businesses gain more control of their surroundings, their energy
use and even their lives. These companies are members in the more than
300 member (and growing) ZigBee Alliance. They come from almost
every continent and range from entrepreneurs to multi-national corporations
with household names. Regardless of size, they share a vision for ZigBee and work
together everyday to provide a variety of ingredients needed to create ZigBee products
and reinforce an already enviable supply chain that ensures quality, security, compatibility,
choice and competition.
Open Standards Create OpportunitiesZigBee Alliance members create public application profiles that provide a standard way
of providing new wireless sensing and control solutions. They also allow customers to
purchase ZigBee Certified Products manufactured by different companies with confidence
because these products will work together seamlessly out of the box. The Alliance is
developing a suite of public application profiles to serve the broad needs of several key
markets. For example, ZigBee Smart Energy is a public application profile that is rapidly
becoming the choice for residential energy management and efficiency programs because it
is effective and because it is an open global standard. As a result, it continues gathering
support from governments, regulators, utilities and energy service providers worldwide. At
the beginning of January, 2009, more than 25.3 million ZigBee equipped electric meters are
scheduled to be installed for homes across North America in the coming years. Each home
could be equipped with a number of devices for consumers that help them achieve greater
energy efficiency while saving money. This rapidly growing market opens opportunities for
everyone.
This year, the Alliance expects to complete the development of public application
profiles for telecommunications services, commercial building automation and
personal health care. They will join ZigBee Smart Energy and ZigBee Home
Automation as profiles ready for your product development. Companies interested in
these profiles, or interested in developing new profiles for new markets, are
encouraged to join the Alliance today. ZigBee Alliance membership offers valuable
information on how you can use ZigBee to differentiate your product portfolio. Please
visit www.zigbee.org for the latest list of available public application profiles,
certified products and to join the Alliance.
Control Your WorldZigBee is the global wireless language connecting dramatically different devices
that are designed to improve everyday life. As you will see by the products included in
the ZigBee Resource Guide, the number of products built with ZigBee increases every
year. If your company needs low-cost, low power wireless products that are secure,
self-healing and self-organizing networks, based on a global open standard, then
ZigBee is your technology.

Atmels MCU Wireless product group offers a well balanced
blend of microcontrollers, transceivers and firmware for wireless
applications. With certified IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee and
6LoWPAN standards-based technologies the design will address
the unique needs of low-cost, low-power, low data rate wireless
control and sensor network applications. Atmel's high
performance RF transceivers offer industry best range and
robustness. Adding cutting edge technology and performance
from their low power microcontrollers, Atmel provides a
versatile platform for a wide range of wireless applications.
Atmel's AT86RF230/AT86RF231 are low-power, high-
sensitivity 2.4 GHz transceivers. The -101 dBm receiver
sensitivity and 3 dBm transmit power give it the highest link
budget of any 802.15.4 radio on the market today. The
AT86RF230 has line-of-site range up to 2.8 times that of
competing radios, reducing the total number of nodes
required in the network and cutting 802.15.4 system cost by
as much as 60 percent.
The AT86RF212 700/800/900 MHz IEEE 802.15.4 RF is a
transceiver for low power wireless applications, including
ZigBee. The AT86RF212 offers an industry best RF
performance with a link budget of up to120 dB in the 700 MHz,
800 MHz and 900 MHz ISM bands available in China, Europe
and North America, respectively. The link budget is the result of
the -110 dBm sensitivity offered by the device and the maximum
output power of +10 dBm. The extremely high link budget
combined with the reduced path loss in the 700/800/900 MHz
enables long range wireless communication without the use of
costly external LNA or PA.
Atmel MCU Wireless Solution offers flexibility through the
AVR family of 8-bit RISC microcontrollers, AVR32 32-bit
microcontrollers, and the Smart ARM (SAM) devices. AVR
MCUs have flash memory densities ranging from 1 KB to 512
KB, enabling you to choose from a large number of devices to
find the one suited for your design. With its fast core and
feature rich peripherals, MCU Wireless will be able to offer
both wireless communication and handle main applications.
ZigBit Wireless ModulesAtmel MCU Wireless Solution offers reduced design-in
time through a set compact of pre-tested ZigBit wirelss
modules. ZigBit modules are designed for use in the regional
700/800/900 MHz ISM Bands and 2.4 GHz band available
world wide. The modules holds FCC/CE/ARIB cerfications.
SoftwareA suite of free and certified software is available from
Atmel, ranging from low level drivers (Transceiver Access
Toolbox) to IEEE 802.15.4 MAC, 6LoWPAN and ZigBee
stacks. Choosing Atmel and partners gives you a head start with
ready to use wireless solutions and the shortest time to market
