Atmel ZigBit™ Series Wireless Modules are ultra-compact, low-power, high-sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee® OEM modules based on Atmel's mixed-signal hardware platform. Atmel ZigBit™ Series Wireless Modules, which occupy less than a square inch of space, are designed for wireless sensing, control and data acquisition applications. These ZigBit modules eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming RF development and shorten time to market for a wide range of wireless applications. Based on a solid combination of Atmel's latest MCU Wireless hardware platform, the ZigBit offers superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption, and exceptional ease of integration.
Atmel ZigBit™ Series Wireless Modules are compatible with the robust IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee stack that supports a self-healing, self-organizing mesh network, while optimizing network traffic and minimizing power consumption. Atmel offers two stack configurations: BitCloud and SerialNet. BitCloud is a ZigBee PRO certified software development platform supporting reliable, scalable, and secure wireless applications running on Atmel's ZigBit modules. SerialNet allows programming of the module via serial AT-command interface.
