California Eastern Laboratories Ships Apex LT ZigBee Radio Module
California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) is now shipping a high-end ZigBee radio module, adding to its rapidly growing line of ZigBee/802.15.4 transceiver solutions. Based on Ember Corporation’s EM260 transceiver platform, the Apex LT Module runs the entire ZigBee suite of applications and profiles as specified by the ZigBee Alliance. While many devices claim association with ZigBee, few have enabled the extensive set of applications and profiles required for ZigBee and ZigBee Pro certification. The Apex LT module supports both ZigBee and ZigBee Pro Certified software stacks and full mesh networking as well as the ZigBee Alliance Smart Energy profile. It is FCC, CE, and IC certified eliminating costly and time consuming regulatory testing. The module is a complete hardware and software solution that helps customers to get to market much faster than raw ICs or hardware modules that are neither certified nor support ZigBee profiles.
