Skyley Networks starts sales of a software development kit for ZigBee RF4CE
-At the same time, providing an RF4CE-compatible packet analyzer to satisfy demands for incorporation into domestic electrical appliances

ZigBee RF4CE is a wireless standard intended for remote controls of domestic electrical appliances, AV device, and garage door. It enables operations not supported by conventional infrared remote control, such as those demanding "no care about sight" and "bidirectionality utilization". It is currently the most-watched wireless standard in the domestic appliance industry. Employing ZigBee RF4CE SDK for 78K0R, which Skyley has just started selling, will reduce the required development and evaluation periods for RF remote control software, thus speeding product entry into the market.

Skyley is also about to start sales of the SK Sniffer NEO, an RF4CE-compatible packet analyzer. SK Sniffer NEO supports RF4CE network layer data analysis as well as IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee analysis and display. Connecting an additional three capture devices enables the capture of 15, 20, or 25 channels at one time, thus making the tool well-suited to the verification of RF4CE-specific operations, such as frequency agility and multiple PANs.

1) Offers ZigBee RF4CE V1.0-compliant (* Note 1) libraries and header files.
2) Offers AT commands for ZigBee RF4CE.
3) Includes the SK Sniffer NEO, a ZigBee RF4CE-compatible packet analyzer (* Note 2)
