Vesternet.com Today Officially Launches the Worlds First ZigBee Shop... Offering Development Tools, Components, Certified Products and a Platform for Management of Devices
DARESBURY, England, April 30 /PRNewswire/ --
Vesternet has developed two core products:
Zigbox - a compact ZigBee Ethernet gateway
Zigbytes - a web-based user interface
Together they form the backbone of any network: Zigbox gathers sensor
data... & Zigbytes presents it online.
Users can then plug-in multi-vendor ZigBee sensors to build up their own
unique solution. These could be power sockets, thermostats, door sensors,
appliances and more.
"The key point is that users aren't restricted to just one suppliers
product range," says Dave Bell, Vesternet CEO. "Whereas some other ZigBee
solutions are closed networks, we believe that's contradictory to the
interoperability of the technology. Instead, Vesternet provide just two
enabling products that allow the user to choose from the many different
supplier ZigBee devices emerging."
The result is that end-users have 24/7 web based access to their ZigBee
sensors, and as new certified products are released from the many industry
partners, these will easily plug into and extend the existing network.
Initially the platform will focus on management of Smart Energy and Home
Automation devices. But later versions will support new ZigBee profiles such
as RF4CE, Building Automation and Healthcare.
Aside from the end-user platform - also available are individual
components & tools for installers, developers, re-sellers & utilities.
Vesternet are now shipping worldwide from US & EU locations.
Vesternet is a ZigBee solution provider, online shop and product
integrator. We operate the worlds first dedicated ZigBee eCommerce store,
along with a hardware & software platform for the remote management of a
ZigBee network.
