Page 1 MeshConnect? EM357 Module DESCRIPTION CEL’s MeshConnect? EM357 Module combines high perfor- mance RF solution with the markets premier ZigBee stack. The addition of on board memory enables Over-The-Air (OTA) programming without the need for additional in system memory. The integrated power amplifier maximizes range and perfor- mance. The small module footprint makes it suitable for a wide range of ZigBee applications. The MeshConnect EM357 mod- ule is certified and qualified enabling customers to accelerate time to market by greatly reducing the design and certification phases of development. CEL’s MeshConnect? EM357 module (ZICM357P2-1) is based on the Ember EM357 Zigbee compliant SOC IC. The IC is a single-chip solution, compliant with ZigBee specifications and IEEE 802.15.4, a complete wireless solution for all ZigBee applications. The IC consists of an RF transceiver with the baseband modem, a hardwired MAC and an embedded 32-bit ARM? Cortex?-M3 microcontroller with internal RAM (12kB) and Flash (192kB) memory. The device provides numerous general-purpose I/O pins and peripheral functions such as timers and UARTs. The MeshConnect EM357 module adds a power amplifier (PA) to increase range up to 2.5 miles, provide more reliable trans- mission, and reduce the number of nodes in your network. It is especially useful for open outdoor applications where the nodes are physically far apart or for indoor use where the nodes have to operate in a noisy RF environment. The Module’s outstand- ing 120dB link budget ensures high quality connections even in such harsh environments. The MeshConnect EM357 module also integrates an 1MB Flash memory for Over-The-Air program updates, making this device ready for Smart Energy Applications.
