Atmel have ICs like as AT86RF212,AT86RF231 that have very good radio/hardware specification but atmel only gives a free OpenMac (MAC layer only) with it for AVR micros,
But TI with CC2520 ,CC2480 have weaker radios but give free full zigbee stack!
How can I solve the problem? how to find the atmel full zigbee stack?what is its price?
TI CC2520 have -98dBm sensitivity ,ATMEL AT86RF231 have -102dBm sensitivity (atmel is better) ATMEL chip have very lower power consumption over TI!
TI have a free Zigbee 2007 stack but its problem is that it work only with TI MSP430 ,this is a limitation for other users that want to work with AVR or ARM micros.
TI CC2480 that is a zigbee processor and works with any micro have very weak radio(ex -92dBm sensitivity) and does not support zigbee 2007 ,it uses zigbee 2006.
Is there any zigbee professinal here?

Atmel Signs Agreement with MeshNetics to Deliver Free ZigBee Stack
Where i the link for Atmel-Meshnetics FREE zigbee stack?
I did not find,I only find OpenMac stack with source code,the is no free meshnetic BitCloud zigbee stack from atmel!
Please if there is any link send it.
Hi,
I agree with you on both Atmel and TI about Bitcloud SDK it is not free. only networking stack is freely supplied to sell thier chips.
about Meshnetics SDK https://www.meshnetics.com/dev-tools/zdk/ you have pricing and all other details.
Here in Edaboard in few days back same question is asked on reply.
Zigbee Node(EN-C-R) Quantity you are planning to produce is matters while you buy SDK.
If Qty is <=10000 units then each unit cost will be increased.
Else Go to https://freaklabs.org/ exclusive Atmel Zigbee Open Source Stack Great Job By AKiba.
Want to develop own Z stack Possible but cost you very much in time.
