Some more off the shelf solutions The full mac is already implemented and the source code is available for ARM and AVR based usb sitcks http://www.dresden-elektronik.de/shop/cat4_33.html?XTCsid=f1a582c1645307d399c2ccc1157b175b and Raven USb sticks They are also available in packages with FCC certification in ZigBit http://www.mikrocontroller.net/articles/Meshnetics_Zigbee > -- > With best wishes > Dmitry -- Regards, Prajosh Premdas ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Linux-zigbee-devel mailing list Linux-zigbee-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-zigbee-devel
