Z-Stack 2.1.0 software provides full support for both ZigBee and ZigBee PRO feature sets, as well as the latest smart energy profile for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI).
Z-Stack 2.1.0 software works in combination with TI’s SmartRF™05 platform, which includes the MSP430 ultra-low power microcontroller (MCU), the CC2520 RF transceiver and the CC2591 range extender, which allows communications over several kilometers. The software provides a library of supported application examples, including smart energy, home automation and over the air download (OAD).
Z-Stack software has been awarded the ZigBee Alliance golden unit status for both ZigBee and ZigBee PRO by the ZigBee test house National Technical Services, Inc.

Z-Stack software also provides support for the CC2430 system-on-chip and CC2431, which adds a hardware-based location detection engine to enable ZigBee applications that can change behavior based on the nodes’ current location.
