IDC’S ZigBee Wireless products feature on new dedicated website

UK automation and tracking specialist, IDC Ltd, has launched a new website featuring the company’s comprehensive new range of Zigbee- enabled products. www.zig-bee.co.uk contains all the latest specification data, downloadable pdf datasheets and a wealth of background information on Zigbee products and applications.

IDC’s Zigbee -enabled wireless mobile devices offer a low-cost, low-power, wireless networking solution, based upon the IEEE 802.15.4 -2006 standard for personal area networks (WPAN). The technology is both simpler to implement and lower cost than other WPANs such as Bluetooth. Zigbee is also far less power hungry than Bluetooth and other alternatives, offering millions of operations from a tiny Lion battery, and giving devices years of operation on one charge.

As the award winning product range is growing so quickly, IDC's Zigbee products have been consolidated and launched online at www.zig-bee.co.uk. The range offers manufacturers, system integrators and end users a single source supply for ready-made hardware and software products utilising ZigBee wireless mesh networking. The site is linked to the company home site at www.idc.gb.com and via a Google Shopping campaign.

IDC’s ZigBee product range includes Ethernet and serial gateways, control modules with discrete input/output connectivity and battery powered handheld units; including: an OEM development Module, an Interactive key fob, handheld Keypad, Touch screen, Serial Gateway, Ethernet Gateway and a Micro Controller.

The hardware features TI's industry leading CC2430/1 System-On-Chip and the TI-ZigBee stack, one of the first to be certified for the ZigBee 2006 specification. The certification ensures that products developed on this platform will be fully interoperable with other platforms that have been ZigBee2006 certified.

The hardware is supported by software products for over the air programming, location tracking, event recording, OPC server and soon to be introduced ZB Server which offers the integration of independent multiple 802.15.4 networks.

For those who prefer to outsource development, IDC also offer in-house design and programming expertise to help get bespoke customer products to market quickly and cost effectively.
