Join us for a two-day hands-on workshop on the hottest new wireless standard, IEEE 802.15.4, the basis for the ZigBee wireless networking standard. ZigBee and 802.15.4 promise low power consumption for low-bandwidth applications – in some cases exceeding battery shelf life! Presented from the viewpoint of a consulting embedded systems engineer, this tutorial will introduce you to the theory and networking structure of 802.15.4 and ZigBee as well as the practical integration of this network into embedded systems. You will receive your own hardware (see description below) and will program your own IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee applications during this workshop. This workshop is targeted for the embedded systems engineer (hardware and/or software) and managers.
Level: Intermediate / Advanced
Prerequisites: knowledge of embedded systems concepts and development, including rudimentary C language coding.
Class cost: as low as $995 per student (see schedule) Class is limited to 12 students CLICK HERE TO REGISTER TODAY! |
