##IMAGE_1_R##Developed, offered and supported by Anaren, the ZigBee BoosterPack (A2530E24A-LPZ) works with the MSP430 and Stellaris LaunchPad evaluation kits providing developers with more microcontroller choices when adding ZigBee wireless connectivity to home gateway, smart meter, and lighting control applications.

•For Stellaris MCU operation, simply remove the MSP430 MCU, and load the Stellaris firmware via USB from the included CD

•CD with all the software, MSP430 and Stellaris drivers, application notes, quick start guide, and more

•One 2xAA battery holder for remote

Additionally, design assistance is available from Anaren and authorized AIR module distributors.

The CC2530-based ZigBee BoosterPack will be demonstrated by Anaren at CES 2013 in the ZigBee Alliance Member Pavilion (booth #20612).
