Nanotron Technologies presents the first evaluation boards for nanoNET

At the ZigBee meeting in Berlin (June 2 - 6) Nanotron Technologies presented the first evaluation boards for the new wireless network nanoNET. Numerous visitors took the chance to see a live demonstration which showed the full functionality of the transceiver as well as the high robustness of the wireless link. The evaluation board and first samples of the nanoNET TRX transceiver will be available in the first quarter of 2004.

(PRWEB) July 4, 2003 -- While the open and global ZigBee standard was discussed in many workshops, Nanotron Technologies showed members of the press and representatives of interested companies the first samples of the evaluation board for nanoNET. nanoNET works in the globally license-free ISM band at 2.4 GHz and allows a very robust data transmission with extremely low power consumption. With an output power of only 900 nW, nanoNET was able to transmit 1 Mbps over a distance of 6 meters (Bit Error Rate: 10-3, no Forward Error Correction). Therefore, the underlying transmission system CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) is an ideal choice for mobile battery-driven ZigBee applications.

The big hype around nanoNET here at this conference proves that Nanotron Technologies has developed the ideal wireless transmission system for the most promising growth markets of the future", says Nanotrons CEO Helmut Adamski. According to market studies from the ZigBee alliance, three billion ZigBee-compatible devices will be sold in 2007, for example for applications in the fields of Home Control and Industrial Automation.

About Nanotron Technologies

Nanotron Technologies has developed the new RF transmission system MDMA (Multi Dimensional Multiple Access) which can be used for all applications of wireless communication. CSS (Chirp Spread Spectrum) is a derivative of MDMA, optimized for a highly reliable wireless link and an extremely low power consumption.

The first product, nanoNET TRX, is a transceiver with extremely low power consumption, high robustness against disturbances and wide range. It is optimized for mobile battery-driven applications and the wireless control of industrial processes. Nanotrons network software PPS (Portable Protocol Stack) and the System Development Kit guarantee an easy and fast implementation.

Further products for very high data rates are also under development at Nanotron Technologies. The company was founded in 1991 and has about 35 employees. Nanotrons headquarter is in Berlin. Further information can be found at www.nanotron.com.
