New Kits from Daintree Networks Help Take ZigBee® Services to the Next Level
CES 2009, LAS VEGAS, NV - January 8, 2009 - Daintree Networks, Inc. (located at CES Booth 21719-5) today announced the availability of its new MeshOperator(TM) Wireless Application Development Kit and Smart Energy Kit.
Daintree provides the industry's most comprehensive solutions for the development and deployment of systems based on IEEE® 802.15.4(TM) and ZigBee. These new kits help ZigBee solution developers and providers to bring their products and services to market quickly and reliably.
"ZigBee is now quite a mature technology," said Dean van Gerrevink, VP of Engineering at Daintree Networks. "Many people are wanting to take the next step and build ZigBee devices into a new class of services such as smart energy and energy-efficient commercial and industrial lighting. These new services are not only exciting from a technology point of view, but also for the change that they'll make in everyone's lives."
With Daintree's new kits, developers can take individual ZigBee smart products (such as lights, heating and cooling, and security) and turn them into smart home and smart energy solutions and services. The Wireless Application Development Kit can be used to develop a prototype or proof-of-concept for a new ZigBee application or service, and the Smart Energy Kit adds built-in support for ZigBee smart energy products. These kits include Daintree's Management Gateway, which allows networks of ZigBee devices to be connected to the Internet and managed by Daintree's centralized management server software.
Many companies world-wide are already trialling Smart Energy and Smart Home products based on ZigBee and other wireless embedded technologies. Daintree's MeshOperator provides the missing middleware and management components to turn these products into complete solutions and services. These new kits make MeshOperator available in a format that solution and service providers can get started with quickly.
"There has been a lot of press recently about how Smart Energy is going to help to save the planet, by providing the means for consumers and companies to monitor, control, and then reduce their energy usage," said Dean. "With these new kits, Daintree is helping to make Smart Energy a reality."
