Live Demo - Cratlon 802.15.4 'Zigbee™-ready' Wireless Sensor Network


Cratlon Ltd has deployed real-world 802.15.4 wireless sensor networks in a number of European industrial locations, for example: Go to Live Demo

These wireless networks implement 802.15.4 star and peer-to-peer FFD/RFD functionality in real-world industrial locations and applications. The readings are used for monitoring and trending, to control lights and temperature for energy-efficiency, and humidity for production environmental control as well as office energy efficiency.

These are among the first wireless networks in Europe or worldwide to implement 802.15.4 star and peer-to-peer FFD/RFD functionality in real-world industrial locations and applications. Taking less than an hour to install, these networks pay for themselves within months in reduced oil costs and energy savings.
