Page 6: Zigbit Module Overview
The ATZB-RF-212B-0-CN ZigBit is a compact, low-power, high sensitivity IEEE 802.15.4/ZigBee OEM module. Based on a solid combination of the latest Atmel MCU Wireless hardware platform, 900 MHz ISM band transceiver and Atmel Studio Wireless Composer - the ZigBit offers an unmatched combination of superior radio performance, ultra-low power consumption and exceptional ease of integration. - Page 7 Every ZigBit Module come pre loaded with Atmel assigned 64-bit MAC address stored in the signature bytes of the device. This unique IEEE MAC address can be used as the MAC address of the end product, so there is no need to buy a MAC address separately for the product using the ZigBit.
