MeshBeam 900 - MNZB-EVB-900-B0

MNZB-DKC-900

Powered by two AA batteries, the MeshBean / MeshBean Amp / MeshBean 900 development boards come preset with 2 frequently used sensors - temperature and illumination, as well as a number of other peripheral devices. The boards also support extension connector allowing easy access to the module’s interfaces.

An integrated high-performance ZigBit module enables the board’s wireless connectivity and makes it function as a node in the ZigBee network. A MeshBean boards can be configured to operate as a network coordinator or a router either by DIP-switch settings or via AT-commands. ZigBit Amp is an amplified version of ZigBit RF module, It features higher output power and sensitivity, which results in a significantly higher operating range. ZigBit 900 is an 868/915 MHz version of ZigBit RF module; it features higher line of sight range and high wall penetration capability for in-building use.
