Proof-of-concept low-power wireless connectivity kit Easily configure a low-power mesh (including ZigBee) or multipoint sensor/device network Includes embedded modules, interface boards, gateway, wall router and Python® programming engine

The Drop-in Networking Professional Development Kit provides the hardware and software tools to rapidly deploy a real-world wireless sensor/device network and proof of concept system. All hardware components are pre-configured to run mesh (including ZigBee) or multipoint networking software, which is optimized for low-power, battery-operated networks. The kit includes:

• (3) XBee modules (1 XBee and 2 XBee-PRO®) and (3) interface boards (1 USB and 2 RS-232) to simulate endpoints in the RF network.
• (1) ConnectPort X2 gateway which concentrates data from the RF endpoints for connectivity to a PC or the Internet. The gateway provides a Python-based programming engine for custom application development.
• (1) XBee wall router (mesh kit versions) OR (1) XBee USB adapter (multipoint kit versions)
  • The wall router offers simple network extension via plug-in mains power and also includes integrated light and temperature sensors that can be monitored via the gateway. It is offered in multiple versions with power plugs for compatibility with geographic requirements.
  • The XBee USB adapter provides easy local connectivity to the WPAN via a laptop or PC.
• Power supplies, user documentation and configuration CD. The CD also provides a set of Python programming tools to assist with custom application development.
