(EETimes.com) - Airbee Wireless Inc. and Radiocrafts AS announced Thursday (April 28) they would team to deliver out-of-the-box ZigBee solutions.

Under the license agreement, Airbee (Rockville, MD) will supply its enabling intelligent software on ZigBee-ready module platforms from Radiocrafts (Oslo, Norway). This teaming will offer a readymade platform for integrators and OEMs looking for turnkey ZigBee solutions.

Radiocrafts, a provider of standard RF modules and systems for short-range radio, recently launched a series of ZigBee-ready RF modules operating at 2.45 GHz. The surface-mountable shielded modules measure only 16.5 x 29.2 x 3.5 mm, optionally available with integrated antenna or RF connector. They allow OEMs to easily add wireless communication to their space-limited products without RF design knowledge.

Airbee's intelligent network software has embedded ZigBee protocol software, including built-in test agents, self-tests, and support tools. The software enables rapid deployment of interoperable ZigBee networks.
