January 14, 2009 – Ethernet Direct releases ZigBee product category which is especially designed for applications in remote monitoring & control and sensory network applications.
The Zebra ZUZ-110 and ZUZ-111 is a pair of converters that work as host and slave. ZigBee is a specification based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard for wireless personal area networks. It operates in the ISM radio bands and focus on inexpensive, self-organizing, mesh network that can be used for industrial control, embedded sensing, medical data collection, smoke and intruder warning, building automation, home automation etc. ZUZ-110 and ZUZ-111 supports RS-232, RS-485 and Ethernet. With ZUZ converters, transmission frequency ranges between 2.405GHz and 2.480GHz and provides 16 channels for users.
Ethernet Direct offers the World’s first ZigBee Network converters ZUZ-110 and ZUZ-111 supporting Power saving technology, Reverse Polarity Protection, over current protection and surge (EFT) protection. ZigBee is designed specifically for point-to-point or a point-to- multipoint configuration and are ideal for low-data rate, low-power applications. ZUZ-110 and ZUZ-111 offer a cost-effective wireless networking solution that supports low data-rates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability. Target markets Building Automation, Industrial Automation, Home Automation, Utilities and Energy Management.
