Libelium releases Meshlium Xtreme – 802.15.4 / ZigBee Internet Gateway
Libelium launches Meshlium Xtreme – the first multi-protocol wireless router – offering a powerful bridge between ZigBee wireless sensor networks and the Internet. The router is a modular, wireless, multiprotocol, mesh, outdoor router running Linux and with an open sourceweb manager. It uniquely combines five wireless technologies – WiFi, ZigBee, GPRS, Bluetooth and GPS – as well as wireline Ethernet. The router connects ZigBee networks to the Internet through Ethernet and GPRS and enables the storage of sensor data in both internal and external data base systems.
Libelium’s CTO, David Gascón, says “Meshlium Xtreme delivers a completely flexible gateway to the Internet for operators of ZigBee sensor networks”. He adds, “This flexibility comes through a choice of three Internet connections including Ethernet and GPRS and two storage options in data base servers. In addition, SMS alarms can be sent in real time to mobile phones using the GSM mobile phone network”. Read more.
