Whether for use in the office, retail chain, hotel or home, the ZigBee mesh network supports multiple installations and enables communications across multiple sites.

Plogg-zgb

The ZigBee enabled plogg® device carries a low power 2.4GHz ISM band transceiver from Telegesis based upon the Ember EM250 system on chip ZigBee solution. The plogg® can act as an End Device, a Router or a Coordinator. The transceiver module operates on an AT command line interface that allows for cost effective customization.

Class 1 meter accuracy, embedded 64kB data logging, relay & network options the plogg® offers:

Wireless energy management at appliance level

Short payback < 1 year

Increased awareness of energy waste

Integration with Building Management systems

Enables appliance performance comparisons

ZigBee network support

PC & PDA reporting platforms

Remote ON/OFF switching

Plogg- zgb EAP

To further extend the flexibility of the plogg® range EOL also offers an Ethernet Access Point. This is a gateway which allows access to the ZigBee mesh networking modules over an industry standard Ethernet IP network. For example multiple EAP's can be deployed - each connected via Ethernet to a ZigBee PAN network in different parts of the building giving secure access to the plogg® installations over the internet from anywhere in the world.

"We have a Bluetooth enabled Smart Meter Plug," says Shaun Merrick, Sales Director at Energy Optimizers. "But to enable really significant networks of our wireless energy management technology only ZigBee technology offers the complete solution."

EOL has used Telegesis ETRX2 modules and Ember mesh networking technology in their plogg® Smart Meter Plug products.
