ZigBee module for smart enegy applications from Radiocrafts

Radiocrafts AS has introduced a ZigBee module dedicated for Smart Energy application (ZNM-SE). This module is based on a ZigBee PRO compliant platform and offers a complete ZigBee PRO protocol including support for the ZigBee Smart Energy profile.

The key features of this module are:
1. It supports the Certificate Based Key Exchange (CBKE) and the entire key-establishment cluster is embedded in the module.
2. The Smart Energy application, being a meter, a display or a load control device, will be implemented in an external processor (MCU).
3. Uses UART or SPI serial interface to communicate with the module through an API.
4. This module can support any device specified in SE profile specification 1.0 and is also targeting all devices in the upcoming SE 1.1 release.
5. Certificates and initial encryption keys is also written to the module via the serial interface.
6. The Smart Energy Module comes in two different hardware configurations, RC2400 and RC2400HP. The RC2400 is for low power, battery operated products. The RC2400HP has integrated 100mW PA and LNA adding significant range, giving a 119 dB link budget.
