Re: Zig Bee

Re: ZigBee

I was suprised by high price of joining to group. Looks that only large companies are able to join. Not good.
 

Re: ZigBee

Try to look at the picture at their frontpage:


It doesn't seem very professional to have a mirrored picture at the frontpage. I wonder what they spend all the money on, I don't hope they spend too much on threir webdesingners.
 

Re: ZigBee

I think, their consultants eat these money for endless inter group agreements.

About getting Freescale test board: I can advice push freescale and they send board free without any problems
 

Re: ZigBee

I know the Zipbee specification has not been finalized. So why Freescale has the Zipbee solution? Is it just partial / preliminary version of Zipbee?

Is there anyone has the preliminary specification?
 

ZigBee

Chipcon have also released ZigBee chips some time ago.
First CC2420 and now also CC2430.

ZigBee is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.


Btw. it's ZigBee, not Zipbee.
 

Re: ZigBee

Atmel looks also big player in this market. I heard they released dedicated AVR chips for this.

They are not released yet, but they were announced some time ago and are still in development:

They are going to release a two chips solution:
 

Re: ZigBee

What about ZigBee protocol upper layers specs? I know it was planned to be released on Q4 2004... is it already done? Have anybody ever seen this stuff? (it seems harder to find than original Moses' ten-commandments tablets)
Please, upload it.
 

Re: ZigBee

I think yes, because Chipcon and Freescale suggests ready to use dev kits.
