M2M Connectivity launches connectBlue ZigBee module and serial port adaptor
M2M Connectivity has launched connectBlue ZigBee (IEEE802.15.4) module and serial port adaptor for industrial applications.
The connectBlue ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 product range includes an OEM module and an industrial IP65 Serial Port Adapter, both developed to meet the tough demands of industrial environments.
A major benefit of connectBlue modules and modems is that the products share a common footprint for design, whether they be for Bluetooth, WLAN, and now also for ZigBee.
The wireless products share a common form factor, connectors, antenna solutions as well as configuration and control software tools. It is now possible for developers to reuse the integration efforts of three different wireless technologies on one hardware platform.
The ZigBee product range is delivered with the standard Serial Port Adapter firmware and can be configured with AT commands using the connectBlue Toolbox computer software. The connectBlue Serial Port Adapter application is optimised for high performance and robust behavior especially targeted for demanding industrial usage.
In addition, there is the possibility to use the ZigBee compliant hardware to implement customer specific application software or download a free ZigBee reference application into the modules.
“Customers developing with connectBlue for their short-range RF applications are offered unrivaled flexibility in design as they get a footprint that allows them to freely choose between alternative wireless technologies,” said Sean Taylor, sales manager of M2M Connectivity.”
M2M Connectivity will be showcasing the connectBlue products at CeBIT Sydney from May 20-22 at Stand F60, Hall 2.
