The expectation is that new European regulations will change the way utility companies and their customers manage energy and water consumption in residential and commercial buildingshttp://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2010/02/05/47958/zigbee-firm-signs-ismosys-for-european-metering-move.htm
In designing a battery-powered analogue signal conditioning board with a ZigBee communications interface, we evaluated a range of different analogue front-end design optionshttp://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/10/20/47224/how-to-design-a-zigbee-front-end-circuit.htm
The ZigBee Alliance and the EnOcean Alliance are pitching for international standards recognition for harvested-energy wireless nodes, with different proposals.http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/09/18/46984/enocean-and-zigbee-vie-for-energy-harvesting-market.htm
Here are the top ten most viewed Products on ElectronicsWeekly.com in the last week, with Ember's EM351 ZigBee chip family leading the way, followed by the ever popular SheevaPlug Linux PC development kit, and Radiometrix's TX3H-869.5-15 low power FM transmitter...http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/06/30/46387/top-10-most-viewed-products-ember-zigbee-chips-linux-pc-plug-radiometrix-fm-transmitter.htm
The EM351 integrates an ARM Cortex-M3 processor, 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 RF transceiver, 128kbye flash, 12kbyte RAM and the EmberZNet PRO network protocol stack which supports the ZigBee PRO feature sethttp://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/06/08/46238/ember-aims-cortex-m3-zigbee-chip-at-smart-meters.htm
From chip analysts calling an improved outlook, and ZigBee as a wireless standard for smart meters in Europe, to NXP showing its lowest power Cortex-M3 chip and Ericsson claiming the first commercial 4G mobile deployment...http://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/05/29/46190/the-electronics-weekly-news-roundup-nxp-cortex-m3-zigbee-smart-meters-4g-mobile-deployment.htm
The adoption of a standard based on an established technology such as ZigBee could potentially reduce the cost and time taken to develop the next generation of smart meters which will be used by an estimated 2,000 electric, water and gas utility service providers in the EUhttp://www.electronicsweekly.com/Articles/2009/05/28/46180/zigbee-to-be-wireless-standard-for-smart-meters-in-europe.htm
