Hi all,
Our Bluetooth enabled multiplexers have finally seen the light.
See www.shipmodul.com for more details.

Definitely an interesting product, wrote some thoughts about it on my
weblog, www.panbo.com/yae. How do you see Zigbee (www.zigbee.org) and
NMEA 2000 fitting into this? Will they obsolete your products?

I don't think so. Not for the near future. Like I mentioned in my other
post, NMEA2000 is quite costly. It is just too darn simple to put a simple
serial interface on a device.

As for ZigBee, I'll have to investigate that one. It is of course not such a
widespread standard as Bluetooth, but it has it merits. But I'll always have
my doubt about equipping every sensor with a wireless link. As long as you
have to power something with a wire, you can also transport data over that
wire, eliminating the need for wireless.

Regards,
Meindert
