zPoint Products Releases a ZigBee "Wireless Control" Experimenter's Kit

Vancouver, BC - July 2nd, 2007

zPoint Products is pleased to announce that we are taking orders for a Wireless Control experimenter's kit that contains everything you need to setup a ZigBee mesh network connected to your PC.
This kit should be of interest to everyone who is curious about ZigBee wireless controls. It offers:

• a solution that works out of the box
• a wide variety of I/O including digital, analog, relay, temperature, and light sensors
• sample programs that let you use the devices immediately
• no programming necessary
• source-code for the sample software, for those who want to develop their own applications
• can be used for real applications
• ZigBee certified! (not "ZigBee Ready" ... this is the real thing)

"We developed the Combo Platter for environmental controls in Spas and Greenhouses" reports Brian Empey, CEO of Techsol. "But through word-of-mouth we find that many people want a simple, flexible, wireless control box such as this, but with genuine ZigBee mesh-networking. So we decided to make it available to anyone!"

The ZigBee Wireless Control Experimenter's Kit comes as a set of 4 wireless devices plus software for Windows or Linux computers. It includes:

• 2 ZigBee "Combo Platter" boards, featuring a wide variety of I/O, with 4 each of Analog Inputs, Relay Outputs, and Digital I/O, plus light and temperature sensors
• 1 ZigBee USB Dongle plugs into a PC
• 1 ZigBee Coordinator plugs into an AC outlet
• USB and Serial cables
• 2 AC adapters for the I/O boards
• 1 CD, containing Java and Windows programs, along with their source-code

This kit, based on the same ZigBee Dongle that was demonstrated at Light Fair 2006 in May and hailed by the ZigBee Alliance as the world's first ZigBee product, is normally priced at $695. However, for the first 500 customers who order a kit in July, this kit is available for only $495, a saving of $200 USD.
zPoint Products is taking orders now for deliveries starting in August.
