Just released is a range of ZigBee Wireless Converters and Data Acquisition units with a ZigBee Wireless interface. These devices are extremely easy to use and deploy in a multitude of applications and environments.

Initially the range consists of standard Host and Slave modems which allow a wide variety of Serial (RS232 or RS485) and Ethernet based devices to be introduced to a Wireless ZigBee Network. These modems can be used as transparent converters where the device to be connected has an address, the unit itself can also be configured as the network address for the connected serial device (useful for devices such as Bar Code scanners or other simple devices with no internal address). Alternatively the modems can also communicate using Modbus RTU or TCP/IP.
