Microprocessor Core Module features on-board mass storage.
Jan 9 2008- Utilizing Dynamic C v10.21 with Megabyte Code Support, RabbitCore RCM4300 Series enables designers to use over 1 Mbyte of SRAM for shared code and data. Users can also implement up to 1 GB of storage using miniSD(TM) memory card. Providing essentials needed to design microprocessor-based embedded system with mass storage, RCM4300 development kit is available and includes 512 MB miniSD card, prototyping board, accessories, and development tools.

Wall Router extends ZigBee network range.
Dec 13 2007- Suited for creating drop-in networks, XBee(TM) Wall Router can patch areas within ZigBee network where signal erosion or loss occurs due to distance limitations or air interference. It also creates multiple pathways, increasing redundancy of mesh communications to ensure maximum network reliability. Device includes 2 environmental sensors for temperature and light and built-in mounting tab that allows it to be screwed into standard wall sockets using existing mounting screw hole.

Wireless Bridge extends industrial Ethernet networks.
Nov 26 2007- Multipoint XPress(TM) Ethernet Bridge (XEB) features external DIP switch, allowing unit to be switched from access point to subscriber unit mode. Using 900 MHz band, unit can communicate in situations where Wi-Fi and other wireless connectivity solutions fail. It has line-of-sight range of up to 15 miles and indoor range up to 2,000 ft with ability to transmit through up to 10 walls with 1.5 Mbps RF data rate and also provides 128-bit encryption for secure connections

Wireless Modems are based on MaxStream® technology.
Jul 30 2007- Offering Serial/Ethernet cable replacement, XTend(TM) and XStream(TM) RF modems and XPress(TM) Ethernet Bridge operate within industrial, scientific, and medical RF bands. XTend(TM) operates at 900 MHz and provides up to 40 miles of range, while XStream(TM) comes in 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz units, and offers up to 20 miles of range. XPress(TM) wirelessly connects data system to Ethernet network and operates at 900 MHz and 125 mW of power, providing up to 15 miles line-of-sight range and 1.5 Mbps RF data rate.

ZigBee Module features full mesh networking capability.
Apr 30 2007- Based on Ember EM250(TM) system-on-chip, Xbee(TM) Series 2 ZigBee® module supports self-discovery/self-healing mesh networks, coordinators, routers, and end devices, as well as low power sleep modes. Device includes 16-bit microprocessor, 128 Kb flash memory, and X-CTU software that allows designers to test and configure ZigBee networks. Antenna options include chip antenna, wire whip, U.FL connector, and RPSMA connector.

Wireless Router offers secure cellular connection.
Jan 29 2007- Featuring embedded Sierra Wireless PCI Express Mini Card module, commercial-grade ConnectPort WAN VPN is certified for use on Cingular's 3G UMTS/HSDPA network.
