Ethernet Direct Shares How To Choose & Deploy ZigBee Devices

Taipei, Taiwan, 13 February, 2009 - Ethernet Direct Corporation, a professional and primary provider of Industrial Networking and communication solutions, recently announced a complete portfolio of ZigBee devices namely ZigBee Access Points designed for LAN & WAN communications plus ZigBee Network converters.

ZigBee technology is now widely used in many applications due to the fact that it focus on network applications under the IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee standard with features like low power consumption, high density of nodes per network, low costs and simple implementation. Ethernet Direct ZUZ models provide transmission frequency ranges between 2.405GHz & 2.480GHz and provides 16 channels for users. With low power consumption, ZMZ and ZUZ product models come with longer MTBF. ZigBee has been described as wireless control that simply works compared to Bluetooth in terms of bandwidth and protocol stack size.

ZigBee caters to the sensors and remote controls market and can be used for industrial control, embedded sensing, medical data collection, smoke and intruder warning, utilities, energy management, building automation, home automation etc. Ethernet Direct offers the World’s first ZigBee Access Point offering cost-effective wireless networking solution that supports low data-rates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability.

How to Choose a ZigBee device?
- IEEE 802.15.4 compliant for ZigBee.
- Supports ISM 2.4 GHz operating frequency
- Supports Wide power Input from 9~15 VDC
- Supports Power saving technology, Reverse Polarity Protection, over current protection and surge (EFT) protection.
- Supports point-to-point or a point-to- multipoint configuration
- Support low data-rates, low-power consumption, security, and reliability.
- ZigBee Access points with RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 serial interface and supports LAN/WAN communications
- ZigBee Access points with in server mode and management access password protected for security
- ZigBee Access points with heart beat connection feature to ensure reliable TCP connection against power failure or network disruption.

In Industrial Automation application, ZUZ and ZMZ models can extend existing manufacturing and process control systems reliable to improve the monitoring of critical equipments and reduce downtime.

The ZigBee product models from Ethernet Direct are:
ZUZ-110 - RS-485/RS-232 to ZigBee Network Converter (HOST)
ZUZ-111 - RS-485/RS-232 to ZigBee Network Converter (SLAVE)
