Radiocrafts has released a compact ZigBee network module for use in ZigBee-based mesh networks.

The module offers the network protocol with an API interface.

The module is targeting applications such as industrial sensor networks, building automation and home automation systems and is claimed to be the smallest all-embedded module designed for ZigBee available.

It has a UART or SPI interface for serial communication and configuration. The application runs in any external controller, communicating with the module by an API. With 10 API calls, a complete application can be made. The module supports all features of the ZigBee 2006 standard.

The RC2300-ZNM module is pre-certified for operation under the European, FCC and ARIB radio regulations for licence-free use. It operates at 16 channels at 2.45 GHz. When used with quarter-wave antennas, a line-of-sight range of 250 m can be achieved.

Indoor range is typically 10-30 m. The module is designed for use in battery-operated systems using sleep mode with less than 1 µA.
