At Sensors Expo & Conference, Ember Corporation will unveil the next generation of ZigBee technology. The announcement will include the world's first "ZigBee-on-a-chip" system and Ember's second-generation ZigBee software stack. The company will also introduce new software tools for rapid application development and debugging. These enhanced products aim to help companies create ZigBee-compliant wireless products significantly faster, easier and more profitably than current first-generation offerings. Ember's Chief Software Architect Zachary Smith will be speaking during the ZigBee Standard Seminar on Monday June 6th. Sessions will be held in room E353B on the third level of the Lakeside Center, McCormick Place, from 9:00 - 5:00 p.m., and Smith's session will run from 2:15 - 3:00 p.m. Smith's presentation aims to provide a high-level "punch list" of some of the less understood application considerations developers face before designing their ZigBee solutions, including issues such as network topologies, interoperability options, security levels, platform differences, and development environments. Attendees will come away with a better understanding of how to approach the design of ZigBee applications, which questions to consider, which approaches to weigh, and which vendor features to scrutinize. Reporters or analysts interested in meeting with Ember at Sensors Expo should contact Michelle Malfy at 603-559-5835 or mmalfy@beaupre.com. *T
