Overview
The ProBee-ZS10 is an all-in-one ZigBee Serial Adapter with integrated ZigBee core and radio/antenna
circuits together with high level software library.
The ZS10 Serial Adapter is designed to meet specific requirements of low cost and low power wireless
applications such as home automation or smart energy by adopting the ZigBee technology. The ZS10 is
based on the Ember EM250 ZigBee core and fully certified under the latest ZigBee Pro standard for the
maximum compatibility.
Despite of its low cost and low power consumptions, the ZS10 provides high performance and robust data
transfer capability for wide range of applications. The ZS10 can transfer data at up to 250 kbps and reach
up to 1.6 km (0.99 miles) outdoor line-of-sight.
