First Location System-on-Chip for ZigBee: The CC2431 from Texas
Instruments is the first SoC with a hardware location engine targeting
low-power ZigBee(R) wireless sensor networking applications, such as
asset tracking, patient monitoring, inventory control, security and
commissioning networks. It features a powerful RSSI-based location
engine, which reduces network traffic compared to centralized location
systems, and is supported by TI's Z-Stack_ protocol stack. For
development kits, samples and datasheets, visit www.ti.com/cc2431.

Webinar: Supercharging Products
with Embedded RFID
June 26 @ 2 pm ET
Sponsored by SkyeTek
They may still look the same on the outside, but embedded RFID readers
and software can transform products from the inside, offering
manufacturers, OEMs, and product designers new opportunities for
competitive advantage through increased efficiency, accuracy and product
differentiation. With an seemingly unending list of products, RFID is a
key technique to adding new functionality, increasing reliability and
enhancing the user experience. At this webinar and interactive Q&A
session learn the difference between RFID and existing barcode and
contact technologies; and how embedded RFID has new applications in
disposable authentication, smart shelves and cabinets, contactless
payments, tracking, inventory and stock, and customizable
configurations. Also catch up on unique technical and business
considerations for embedded RFID and companies that are already
implanting the technology.
