World's first ZigBee Pro compliant module developed

5 March 2008 News

UK ZigBee specialist Telegesis has announced that its ZigBee module product range has successfully achieved certification based upon the ZigBee Pro feature set of the ZigBee standard. The Telegesis AT Command layer has been tested by US test house National Technical Systems, where Telegesis was granted ZigBee certification for its Manufacturer Specific Profile (MSP). According to Telegesis, this makes the ETRX2 the world's first ZigBee Pro compliant module.

All Telegesis ZigBee Pro products are built around the Ember EM250 chip with core mesh networking technology provided by Ember's EmberZnet 3.1 software. EmberZNet Pro 3.1 was the first ZigBee software to support the ZigBee Pro Feature Set and it was one of three platforms to be granted 'Golden Unit' status by the ZigBee Alliance.

ZigBee Alliance chairman, Bob Heile, said: "We congratulate Telegesis on being a leader in producing a ZigBee certified module based on the latest ZigBee feature set, ZigBee Pro. The ZigBee Alliance expects many other ZigBee companies to begin certifying their own ZigBee products to meet the rapidly growing demand for ZigBee technology."

Telegesis began releasing its ZigBee Pro compliant products to beta customers during February 2008, with the whole range expected to be generally available shortly afterwards.
