”One thing I have not yet addressed is the quality of the Ember stack. In a word, it's great.”

- William Wong, Staff Editor, Electronic Design

"Ember tends to be on the cutting edge with its ZigBee support and the InSight tools are first rate. The Ember stack handles all the various configurations including the more complex mesh environment. The advantage of the EM260 is that most of this complexity is hidden from the developer. This includes the ability to download applications and to monitor the health of the network." Read more
