Difference between mica & micaz
Can Mica be used for wireless sensor networks
Use of Zigbee,, is it neccessary?
What can Micaz do that Mica can’t?
What is the usage of the Mica2 OEM product
Price list for the UK market?
if I incorporate in my product what would the requirements for licencing be?
Aim
1. Want to start Developing own apps first
2. If integrating into other apps which product best to use
