Freescale Semiconductor has introduced a single-chip platform solution based on the ZigBee specification that is designed to deliver the industry's lowest power consumption and highest performance. The MC1322x platform is engineered to support battery life of up to 20 years, doubling the expectations for current ZigBee solutions.
Freescale's MC1322x is available in a Platform in Package (PiP) solution that integrates the essential components of a ZigBee application within a single package, thereby reducing component count and system cost. The MC1322x platform contains a 32-bit microcontroller (MCU), a fully compliant IEEE® 802.15.4 transceiver, balun and RF matching components-all integrated into a small-footprint land-grid array (LGA) package that virtually eliminates the need for external RF components. The platform solution also features a TurboLink™ technology mode, engineered to increase data rates by up to 2 megabits per second between nodes.
"We have worked closely with our customers to determine the optimal features for our next-generation ZigBee solution," said Brett Black, manager of Freescale's Wireless Connectivity Operation. "We designed our ZigBee Platform in Package from the ground up to deliver the lowest power consumption and highest performance within a highly integrated package. The MC1322x is designed for a new class of wireless applications that require faster streaming of audio and data files across an IEEE 802.15.4 or ZigBee network."
Itron, a leader in advanced metering technology for the global utility industry, has selected the ZigBee standard for home energy management and load control applications for its OpenWay Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) platform.
"By providing high-performance functionality at a cost-effective price point, ZigBee solutions such as Freescale's MC1322x Platform in Package are designed to enable utilities to deploy advanced energy management and load control capabilities to their mass market residential customers," said Arun Sehgal, product line manager for Itron's OpenWay AMI system. "This capability gives electric utilities new tools to manage peak load while providing consumers with the ability to make smart choices to conserve energy and save money in their homes. ZigBee wireless communication not only makes this possible for the mass market, but cost-effective as well."
"Freescale's Platform in Package raises the bar for other global ZigBee wireless communication platform providers," said Jean-Pierre Desbenoit, electronic and software research director of Schneider Electric. "This platform illustrates what an open-standard technology can provide to OEMs: active competition between best-in-class players who continue to produce innovative solutions. I am confident that the MC1322x platform will contribute to new successes for ZigBee technology."

Breast Cancer liver
Common Breast Cancer Myths
The first myth pertaining to this disease is that it only affects women.
Second myth that is associated with this disease is that if one has found a lump during an examination, it is cancer.
Third is that it is solely hereditary
The next myth associated with breast cancer is downright ridiculous. Would you believe, that in this day and age, some individuals still think that breast cancer is contagious?
Conversely, some individuals foolishly believe that breast size determines whether or not one gets cancer.
Finally, another myth that is associated with this disease is that it only affects older people. This is not so. Although the chance of getting breast cancer increases with age, women as young as 18 have been diagnosed with the disease.
