13 Juin 2005 : La ZigBee Alliance publie les premières spécifications officielles de la version ZigBee 1.0 qui sont désormais disponibles en libre téléchargement.

La spécification initiale de ZigBee propose un protocole lent dont le rayon d’action est relativement faible, mais dont la fiabilité est assez

élevée, le prix de revient faible et la consommation considérablement réduite. On retrouve donc ce protocole dans des « environnements embarqués » où la consommation est un critère de sélection. Ainsi, la domotique et les nombreux capteurs et télécommandes qu’elle implémente apprécie particulièrement ce protocole en plein essor et dont la configuration du réseau maillée se fait automatiquement en fonction de l’ajout ou de la suppression de nœuds. On retrouve aussi ZigBee dans les contrôles industriels, les applications médicales, les détecteurs de fumée et d’intrusion et dans la télécommande de la freebox v6.

Secure, fast and powerful, Ubuntu Server is transforming IT environments worldwide. Realise the full potential of your infrastructure with a reliable, easy-to-integrate technology platform.

Why use Ubuntu for servers?

D2Plug is a Developer Kit for the Marvell PXA510 Highly Integrated SoC with PC-like performance.

The D2plug can be used by software developers, Independent Software Vendors (ISV), and System Integrators (SI); for evaluation, Application development, Rapid Prototyping, and interoperability testing for a “cloud” based service deployment. The complete solution in an attractive, innovative and “fan-less” enclosure will also be available for bundling solutions for product release with custom branding.

Plug computer

A plug computer is a small form factor server for use in the home or office. Compared to their PC-based counterparts, plug computers are lower cost, consume less power, often do not have a video card, and are intended to be powered up at all times

Suitable for running a media server, back-up services, file sharing and remote access functions such devices can be used as a bridge between in home protocols such as Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) & Server Message Block (SMB) and cloud based services.
