Cirronet Inc. has announced its ZigBee basic developer kit, a low-price development option that network designers can use to quickly evaluate the ZigBee wireless standard in their specific application environments. The ZMN24HPDK-B (basic) developer kit includes one RS-232 wireless sensor modem and one 2.4 GHz sensor interface board, both built around Cirronet's 2.4 GHz high RF power (100 mW) ZigBee OEM module, plus power adapters, cables, antennas, batteries and demo software. Developers can use the kit to immediately test range, speed and operation in the application environment and, for simple applications, continue using the kit to develop system interfaces and control software.
