1322x Network Node Module Overview and Description
2.1 Introduction
The 1322x Network Node (NN) is an IEEE 802.15.4 compliant evaluation board based on the Freescale
MC1322x device. The heart of the 1322x Network Node is Freescale’s MC1322x 99-pin LGA
Platform-in-Package (PiP) solution that can be used for wireless applications ranging from simple
proprietary point-to-point connectivity to complete ZigBee mesh networking. The MC1322x is designed
to provide a highly integrated, total solution, with premier processing capabilities and very low power
consumption.
The 1322x Network Node provides a platform to evaluate the MC1322x device, develop software and
applications, and demonstrate IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee networking capabilities. The Network Node
surrounds the core device with capabilities that provide a complete 802.15.4 radio, user interface,
debugging capabilities, connection to personal computers (PCs) and other devices, and portability.
