CEL’s MeshConnect EM357 Module Delivers Best-In-Class ZigBee

True ZigBee and Better Range Designed for ZigBee Pro™ applications, the module runs the full ZigBee Pro software stack and Smart Energy profile, enabling applications such as smart meters, smart grid, building automation, remote control, and HVAC. With its strong transmit power, the new module delivers superior range and performance even compared to other Ember-based modules. At +20 dBm power output, the new MeshConnect module provides extended range measured in miles, better in-home penetration for smart meters, and overall increased link reliability for all devices.



Convenient Over-the-Air Field Upgrade Capability

Unique among modules in its class, the MeshConnect EM357 module includes generous on-board external flash memory to enable convenient over-the-air software upgrades in the field, saving what would be thousands of hours of manual field upgrades in many instances.



“We’re thrilled to partner with Ember to bring such leading edge ZigBee technology to market,” said

Rich Howell, Director of Business Development for CEL. “We feel confident that the engineering

excellence that Ember brings to market at the IC level along with CEL’s expertise in module design will

produce a winning combination for our customers. We’re already hearing positive feedback on the

excellent range and over-the-air programming features of this module,” continued Howell.



Expanding MeshConnect Family

The new EM357 module adds breadth and depth to the expanding family of MeshConnect products,

which include the MeshConnect System on Chip IC, the original MeshConnect module for simple

802.15.4 applications and the MeshConnect Extended Range module.
