TI releases free ZigBee(R) 2007 and ZigBee 2007 PRO software stacks with smart energy profile
Z-Stack 2.1.0 software works in combination with TI's SmartRF(TM)05 platform, which includes the MSP430 ultra-low power microcontroller (MCU), the CC2520 RF transceiver and the CC2591 range extender, which allows communications over several kilometers. The software provides a library of supported application examples, including smart energy, home automation and over the air download (OAD).
"ZigBee is revolutionizing the way we interact with our environment, most notably in the field of advanced metering infrastructure where the application of smart energy technology will reduce energy consumption and maximize efficiency," said
By offering the industry's most diverse and complete ZigBee product portfolio, including transceivers, System-on-Chips and the recently released 2.4GHz range extender (CC2591), TI delivers unmatched performance, flexibility and customization so customers can differentiate their designs. TI supports its growing low-power RF portfolio with best-in-class software, tools, application knowledge and worldwide technical support to help ZigBee designers win in the marketplace.
Z-Stack software has been awarded the ZigBee Alliance golden unit status for both ZigBee and ZigBee PRO by the ZigBee test house National Technical Services, Inc. (NTS) and is used by thousands of ZigBee developers worldwide. Z-Stack software also provides support for the CC2430 System-on-Chip and CC2431, which adds a hardware-based location detection engine to enable ZigBee applications that can change behavior based on the nodes' current location.
