A new range of ZigBee / IEEE 802.15.4 wireless technology products has been launched in the UK by Nohau. The new products, developed by market leader connectBlue, include an OEM module and an industrial IP65 Serial Port Adapter. They share the same form factor and electrical interfaces as other well-known connectBlue Bluetooth and wireless LAN product ranges, and have been developed to meet the tough demands of industrial environments.
As connectBlue products are now in effect the de facto world industrial standard, it is possible for users to take advantage of the integration capabilities of three different wirless technologies. The new products are compatible with all existing connectBlue Bluetooth and wirless LAN products, so developers can meet new customer requirements with reduced implementation costs and time-to market.
The range is delivered with standard Serial Port Adapter firmware and can be configured with AT commands using the connectBlue Toolbox computer software. IEEE 802.15.4 products use a low data rate solution with multi-month to multi-year battery life and very low complexity. The radio technology operates in an unlicensed, international frequency band.
The Serial Port Adapter application has been specially designed for demanding industrial applications, and is optimised for high performance and robust operation. In addition, it is possible to use the IEEE802.15.4 compliant hardware either to implement customer specific application software or download a free ZigBee reference application into the modules. As well as industrial applications such as sensors and remote controls, other potential applications include smart badges and domestic automation products. Further product details are available from www.connectBlue.com.
With the introduction of these latest products, connectBlue claims to be able to provide the world’s most comprehensive range of wireless industrial solutions.

About ZigBee
ZigBee is a worldwide public wireless protocol standard, based on IEEE802.15.4, which provides additional network, security and application layers. It allows system builders to create medium to large wireless networks of sensors and controllers. It offers a wide variety of network topologies, including star, tree and mesh, to support a variety of applications. It is highly secure (AES encrypted), requires minimal power, and has worldwide interoperability with other ZigBee products. It can also co-exist with other wireless mediums such as Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular, etc. The standard is coordinated by the ZigBee Alliance, which developed it, and now coordinates compliance testing.
