A.N. Solutions’ @ANY900-1 is the First Sub-1 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 / ZigBee® Module to Achieve CE Certification
A.N. Solutions, a leading system design house, announced today at the 4th European ZigBee Developers’ Conference in Munich, Germany, that its 868MHz IEEE802.15.4/ZigBee RF module, the @ANY900-1, achieved CE certification. This is the first Sub-1 GHz ZigBee module ever to achieve such certification, which paves the way for a Europe-wide adoption of standards based wireless sensor networks in energy management, building and industrial automation, and other application areas.
“We are proud to be the first to CE certify a Sub-1 GHz 802.15.4/ZigBee RF module,” said Mr. Thomas Lerm, President and CEO of A.N. Solutions GmbH. “This opens a door to a wide scale adoption of wireless standards, such as ZigBee and 6LoWPAN, across the industries in Europe. OEMs can now use our @ANY900-1 certified platform to accelerate creation of standards based products. Interchangeable design of different @ANY hardware components further simplifies the product development and enables scalability.”
Mr. Christian Keding, Managing Director at Eurofins Product Service GmbH added, “We are pleased to perform the formal testing and certification of the @ANY900-1 RF module. Eurofins’ years of expertise and state of the art equipment ensure accurate and reliable results. We are happy to assist manufacturers such as A.N. Solutions that help transforming the industry with an efficient wireless technology.”
@ANY900-1 is an ultra-low power IEEE802.15.4/ZigBee RF module for Sub-1 GHz ISM band. The tiny module features an exceptional sensitivity of -110 dBm that results in the line-of-sight range of up to 500m. Featuring the built-in chip antenna and 2MBit memory extensions, @ANY900 module presents a future-proof, fully integrated solution for the system integrators and OEMs. @ANY900-1 RF modules are fully pin-compatible with other @ANY Sub-1 GHz and 2.4 GHz hardware products, and interoperable with corresponding Atmel’s ZigBit® modules.
