California Eastern Laboratories Teams With LS Research

Aug. 9, 2007

California Eastern Laboratories and LS Research have signed an exclusive global agreement to design, manufacture, and market miniature transceiver modules for ZigBee and other low-cost, low-power IEEE 802.15.4 wireless data applications. The companies have teamed on a fully integrated drop-in module based on the MC13192 transceiver IC and MC9S08GT60 microprocessor from Freescale Semiconductor. The module features a 100-mW power amplifier and offers as much as 4000 feet of range in line-of-sight operation. The module is ideal for wireless office and factory automation, in security systems, and for automated heating, lighting, and air-conditioning systems.
