The ZigBee Alliance is an association of companies working together to enable reliable, cost-effective, low-power, wirelessly networked, monitoring and control products based on an open global standard.

The GG863-SR brings together the GSM/GPRS and short-range technology, hosting programmable GE863-PRO³ and any of the short-range modules from Telit's wide product offer in a unique cost-saving, fully customized solution. Thanks to the possibility of choosing among different ISM bands (433MHz, 868MHz, 915MHz and 2,4GHz), protocol stacks (ZigBee, M-Bus or proprietary), network topologies (Star, Mesh, 802.15.4/ZigBee) and coverage (from 70m to 4km), time to market and total cost of the final application are significantly reduced.

Full user application supporting all gateway functionalities runs on the ARM9 integrated in the GG863-SR and manages data sending and receiving, set up and other operations related to GSM/GPRS or short-range network and web interface through a dedicated API developed by Telit. The behavior of the gateway can be customized through the embedded Linux complete development environment and dedicated libraries for GSM and short range, thus simplifying integration in a final application.

Available with or without integrated antenna, these pre-certified SMD RF modules provide a TTL RS232 interface, integrated digital and analog I/Os, work in the license-free ISM band of 868 MHz, and offer the advanced embedded proprietary S-One stack including an optional wireless M-Bus and M-One stack.

These modules are easily integrated into a system, thus reducing development time and cost while providing highly-reliable communications and ultra-low-power for maximum battery life in a wide range of sensor network applications such as those in the growing AMR/AMI market.

The modules are based on the Texas Instruments CC2530 System on Chip with 256KB flash memory dedicated for ZigBee profiles or custom applications and are optionally available with an integrated antenna.

This is an ideal low-cost ZigBee® OEM module for small battery powered devices such as those used in advanced metering, building automation, and wireless sensor networks. The ZE51-2.4 supports low power modes up to 2.5 mW and operates in industrial temperature range from -40° C to 85° C.

The ZE61-2.4 is the extended version of the low cost ZE51-2.4 fully compatible and with the same form factor, having link allocation of 120 dB and 100 mW output power. Telit RF Technologies offers the proven world-class in-house ZigBee® PRO stack easy-to-use C-API.
