“ZigBee modules from MeshNetics have set a groundbreaking new standard by shrinking size, expanding operating range and extending battery life,” said Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst V Sankaranarayanan. “In both ZigBit Amp and ZigBit 900 module, MeshNetics has dramatically enhanced the performance and reduced the size of the product. Its ZigBee modules provide best-in-class range while minimizing power consumption. As a result, OEMs and system integrators are now turning to MeshNetics as the prime source to ZigBee-enable their products.”

MeshNetics’ ZigBee product line includes the industry-leading 802.15.4/ZigBee modules for both 2.4 GHz and sub-1 GHz ISM bands. ZigBit 900 was the world’s first RF module for sub-1 GHz band to use the ZigBee PRO Feature Set. The new module offers record-breaking range and is designed to operate in the ISM bands 915 MHz in the US and 868 MHz in Europe. The amplified 2.4 GHz RF module, the ZigBit Amp, offers a unique combination of best-in-class range and very low power consumption. The patented dual chip antenna design featured in the ZigBit A2, an ultra-compact 2.4 GHz RF module, helps extend operating range without sacrificing power consumption. BitCloud, a robust 802.15.4-2006/ZigBee PRO Feature Set, ships with all MeshNetics’ ZigBee modules, along with an easy-to-use AT commands set.

“We are honored to accept this award from the world’s leading analysts,” said Alexey Rybakov, Managing Director of MeshNetics’ ZigBit Business Unit. “Our goal was to become a ZigBee House of choice for OEMs and system integrators by providing them with the ultimate selection of the ZigBee-enabling components for their wireless products and solutions. Now we are proud to offer both hardware components and embedded software for 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz bands, along with comprehensive engineering support – all from a single source. This award comes as an important acknowledgment that we are on the right track.”

“MeshNetics has demonstrated more insight into customer needs and product demands than their competitors,” added Sankaranarayanan. “By leveraging various price, performance, and feature points required by the market, MeshNetics was able to find just the right mix of products. All of these elements combined to make MeshNetics a clear winner in this contest.”

MeshNetics will continue pushing the envelope of innovation by enhancing the performance of its ZigBee products in order to offer a better value to OEMs and system integrators. New MeshNetics products for both 2.4 GHz and sub-1GHz ISM bands are coming soon, aimed at ZigBee-enabling products and solutions in energy efficiency management, advanced metering infrastructure, building and industrial automation, preventive maintenance and more.
