2.1 Product Summary
The MICAz is the latest generation of Motes from Crossbow Technology. The MPR2400 (2400
MHz to 2483.5 MHz band) uses the Chipcon CC2420, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, ZigBee ready
radio frequency transceiver integrated with an Atmega128L micro-controller. The same MICA2,
51 pin I/O connector, and serial flash memory is used; all MICA2 application software and
sensor boards are compatible with the MPR2400.
