http://www.nxp.com/demoboard/JENNET-IP-EK040.html The JenNet-IP-EK040 evaluation kit provides all the components needed to create applications for IPv6-based networks for lighting and home automation, based on NXP's JN514x series of ultra-low-power single-chip wireless microcontrollers. With JenNet-IP, up to 500 devices in the home can each have their own unique IPv6 address, turning the home into an extension of the Internet at a very low cost. Lights and other home appliances can be easily connected, monitored and controlled over the Internet. The new eval kit from NXP includes 4 wireless sensor nodes; 4 plug-in "shields"; 2 high-power modules; 2 high-power USB dongles; a router; a remote control; and a software development kit. Based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, JenNet-IP software comprises the self-healing JenNet tree networking stack; the IETF 6LoWPAN IP layer; and JIP, a powerful and flexible application layer enabling interoperability between devices. http://www.nxp.com/news/press-releases/2012/07/jennet-ip-evaluation-kits-now-available-from-nxp.html
