A2530E24A-LPZ

Anaren Integrated Radio (AIR) Low‐power RF modules, firmware & development tools that make it easy to ’go wireless’ BoosterPack Series
The A2530E24A-LPZ is an AIR Module BoosterPack kit for the MSP430TM Value Line
or Tiva C LaunchPad Development Kit. This kit eases the development of products
intended to wirelessly communicate in compliance with the ZigBee® Standard*. The
BoosterPacks feature an A2530E24AZ1 AIR module (based on TI’s CC2530 lowpower-RF chip and CC2591 range extender) and are loaded with the Anaren AIR-ZNP
firmware (based on TI’s Z-Stack™ for the ZigBee Standard).

Provides “out of the box” wireless connectivity for
easier development of applications based on the
ZigBee Standard
Includes AIR-ZNP firmware solution (based on TI’s
Z-Stack), which compresses time to market by
greatly reducing the learning curve and
development time
Provides an excellent learning/development tool for
all levels of ZigBee expertise – as well as a clear,
easy-to-understand migration path from
development to production
Part of the AIR Support—for ZigBee, a total solution
from Anaren that includes development tools, free
firmware and applications support, and more
Suitable for export (ECCN 5A002.a.1 per CCATS
G149382) and is eligible for license exception under
