First Location System-on-Chip for ZigBee: The CC2431 from Texas Instruments is the first SoC with a hardware location engine targeting low-power ZigBee® wireless sensor networking applications, such as asset tracking, patient monitoring, inventory control, security and commissioning networks. It features a powerful RSSI-based location engine, which reduces network traffic compared to centralized location systems, and is supported by TI’s Z-Stack™ protocol stack.
