    Hi,

    I understand the Integration/SI Labs dongle is being discontinued in June 09.

    Do you have a replacement target in mind?

    Cheers, Steve.

      It is a bad news. Is it an official declaration from Silicon Labs/Integration?

        Hi,

        I had this email from silabs:

        "The ZigBee dongle (OEM-DAUB1 2400) was developed to support the primary licensee of the Integration Comps® ZigBee stack - OKI. The product was designed primarily as a reference design but took up more traction as a packet sniffer for 3rd party semiconductor ZigBee solutions. This product is now planned for End of Life (EOL) with respect to mass production. We will consider selling / licensing the manufacturing rights to this product to customers."

        If you register and log on to the silabs web site and do a search for "zigbee" there is the following .pdf document in the search results list:

        End of life notification for ZigBee-2.4-DK development kit
        Please login or register to view this document.

        The document says:

        "Orders for the affected product may be placed up to and including 13Jun09.  All new ZigBee-2.4-DK
        orders received up to and including 13Jun09 will be non-cancelable and non-returnable.  All orders
        will be filled and shipped within 1 year of the PCN date."

        Steve.

          Hmm,

          I think you are misunderstanding their declaration about "OEM-DAUB1 2400". 

          They just announced the product "ZigBee-2.4-DK" will be EOLed after 13Jun09, but not "OEM-DAUB1 2400". These two products are different.
          It seems that the "OEM-DAUB1 2400" will be licenced to other manufacturers, and end users may not be able to buy it directly from silicon labs.

          The "ZigBee-2.4-DK" is a set of ZigBee evaluation boards which were designed by silicon labs; in the meanwhile, the "OEM-DAUB1 2400" is just a ZigBee USB dongle developed by Integration/silicon labs.

            Hi,

            I cannot find any reference to the OEM-DAUB1 2400 on the silabs web site.

            Do you know any other sites that have it for sale?

            Steve.
