Server provides secure Ethernet connectivity
The Digi Connect ME 9210 offers customers the highest speed and memory available on a device server with a 75MHz ARM9 processor and 8Mbyte RAM and 2 or 4Mbyte Flash.
The ZigBee Pro feature set provides significant advances in interoperability, node density management, data load management, frequency agility and builds upon the mesh networking and low-power capabilities of prior feature sets.
Based on the Ember EM 250 chip and ZNet 3.1 stack, the XBee ZB and XBee-Pro ZB modules will also be capable of over-the-air firmware updates, allowing customers to change settings and features without directly accessing hardware.
The XBee ZB and XBee-Pro ZB modules share a common electrical interface, form factor and software interface with other XBee platforms, including 802.15.4, ZNet 2.5 and 900MHz XSC, allowing OEMs to rapidly change platforms as needed.
This extensibility allows OEMs to tailor their RF solution to their application with minimal development.
As a member of Digi's Drop-in Networking product offering, the XBee ZB and XBee-Pro ZB modules will plug into products such as gateways that provide XBee to Ethernet, Wi-Fi and cellular functionality; adapters that provide serial, analogue I/O and digital I/O to XBee functionality; and wall routers that provide network extension functionality.
