ZigBee PRO Stack enables Larger, Denser, Sleepier, More Mobile, Secure and Resilient ZigBee Networks

Ember ZNet Pro 3.1 is a complete ZigBee software package.  

EmberZNet PRO is a complete ZigBee protocol software package containing all the elements required for robust and reliable mesh networking applications on Ember’s silicon platforms. EmberZNet PRO includes a the industry’s first proven ZigBee stack based on the ZigBee PRO Feature Set, enhanced with unique Ember innovations, providing “professional grade” networking for the most challenging applications such Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), Home Automation, and Building Automation systems.

A complete suite of easy-to-use reference applications dramatically accelerate development of complete ZigBee Certified Products using the latest approved Application Profiles. Flexible utility libraries, including over-the-air bootloaders and manufacturing test functions, allow products to move quickly from the development lab to real-world deployment. Full integration with Ember’s powerful InSight development tools assure a successful ZigBee development experience.

 

Ember ZNet PRO delivers robust and reliable mesh networking, supporting all ZigBee device types in a single stack image.

Ember ZNet PRO 3.1 delivers robust and reliable mesh networking, supporting all ZigBee device types in a single stack image.

 

EmberZNet PRO is the most robust, reliable and easy to use ZigBee platform that helps address the needs and characteristics of today’s complex mesh networks.
The ZigBee PRO Feature Set includes asymmetric link avoidance, route aggregation, and frequency agility for added network scalability and resiliency.

Larger Networks – scaling to potentially thousands of nodes in a single network is enabled by Stochastic Addressing, Many-to-One/Source Routing and Asymmetric Link Handling

Denser Networks – enabled by Ember’s Intelligent Table Management that assures network stability even when many routing nodes are within close proximity

Sleepier Networks – significantly extend the battery life of end devices through compatible Ember enhancements such as configurable deep-sleep timeouts and special ZigBee (ZR) router parent functions

More Mobile Networks – Ember mobile support features explicitly identify and optimize mobile ZigBee End Devices (ZED) within network

More Secure Networks – are enabled by implementing many of the optional ZigBee PRO security extensions for advanced network encryption and device security

More Resilient Networks – are ensured by ZigBee PRO’s Frequency Agility features that allow the entire network to change channels in the face of interference


Chip Support
EmberZNet PRO supports the complete Ember family of silicon including the new EM300 Series - EM351 & EM357 - ARM Cortex-M3 based SoCs, the EM250 System-on-Chip, the EM260 Network Co-Processor and EM2420 transceivers from Ember.
Reference Applications
Ember's development tools enable the rapid development of specific, certifiable ZigBee applications, reducing initial development from days/weeks to minutes/hours. These tools deliver teh ability to create complete application code via an easy checklist and also offer a template for customization and vendor-specific functions.
Enhanced Utilities and Debug Tools

EmberZNet PRO provides a robust and reliable platform for developing network applications, and Ember’s unmatched suite of utilities and network debugging tools simplify development, accelerating Time-to-Volume of high quality products. It includes:

  • Ember InSight, an industry-first ZigBee network visualization and debugging tool. It operates with both Ember’s development environment and in deployed systems to record network traffic at several levels. This information can then be grouped, sorted, and displayed to immediately pinpoint the cause of any suspected network-related troubles.
  • Ember InSight Development kits aimed at OEMs with formal development programs, and the Ember JumpStart Kit to enable customers to rapidly prototype their applications.
  • Manufacturing tools to enable customers quickly test their Ember enabled hardware and applications in order to maintain quality while minimizing test costs.
  • Ember AppBuilder Tool has been conceived to help OEMs in speedy development of certifiable Home Automation Profile ZigBee Applications.
