Farnell InOne: Leading the way in ZigBee technology

Farnell InOne, the number one source for RoHS compliant products and information, has launched a new Freescale ZigBee developer starter kit. The kit – the first of its kind – offers a unique opportunity for engineers to test out ZigBee technology at the design stage.

Based on Freescale’s second generation of ZigBee compliant platforms, the 1321XDSK kit is an ideal low-cost development tool, containing all the necessary components to get started. It includes two hardware boards, cables, batteries, power adapters, software and sample applications to create propriety and standards-based peer-to-peer and star networks, supporting SMAC and IEEE 802.15.4 PHY/MAC standards. The new kit, priced under £150, is available online at www.farnellinone.co.uk

Jamie Furness, EDE Development Manager at Farnell InOne comments: “Farnell InOne is wholeheartedly embracing Zigbee and as the launch of this kit demonstrates, we are leading the way by offering design engineers a unique opportunity to get to grips with and experience this new technology, first.”
