Newsletter November 2008
 
Dear Customer,
Many of our customers are engaged in developing wireless applications for different industries such as medical, home automation, industrial automation and energy management. We can definitely see an increasing interest in wireless technology and IAR Systems works closely with semiconductor and platform partners to provide efficient development solutions.

The ZigBee® protocol attracts a lot of attention and Anders Lundgren provides an overview. If you want to have a look at products in this area, try www.iar.com/wireless.

This month we also have an article by Colin Flournoy describing the benefits of using checksums to protect the integrity of an embedded application and how to implement it in IAR Embedded Workbench.

Best regards,

So it is timely to review what ZigBee is and what it can do for us, and importantly how ZigBee devices can be programmed to operate effectively and efficiently with the right choice of hardware and development tools.
