EpiSensor Sponsors ZigBee Developers Conference in Munich

Munich, Germany - June 24th, 2008

EpiSensor was one of the key sponsors of the very successful 2nd European ZigBee Developers' Conference (EuZDC) held on June 24th and 25th, 2008 in Munich (Germany). It was organized and run by the German electronics magazine DESIGN&ELEKTRONIK in cooperation with the ELEKTRONIK magazine and the Steinbeis Transfer Center Embedded Design and Networking at the University of Cooperative Education Loerrach.

Attended by 181 people from 24 different countries, the conference featured a mixture of 30 technical papers, 6 hands-on sessions and an exhibition. Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance, presented the conference keynote address.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora, head of the programme committee, said: “We compiled a programme with some 30 technical papers, which were selected by an international programme committee. These papers cover all major fields that system developers are interested in: architecture, physical issues and coexistence, application development, testing and commissioning, system development and application scenarios. We are very proud to have so many first-class speakers in these two days.”

Gary Carroll, Founder and CEO of EpiSensor, commented: “We were very pleased to be associated with such a prestigious event. The industry has made huge strides since the first conference last year and it was very significant that the agenda has moved from questions of designing ZigBee products to questions of deployment and application.”

EpiSensor demonstrated its SiCA Platform based on ZigBee technology linking a network of wireless sensors back to the corporate database. The system allows real-world data to be captured easily, cheaply and reliably, enabling energy management and other systems to base decisions on what is actually happening at the operational level.
