What is the Q53?
The Q53 ZigBee / 802.15.4 Gateway Bridge allows the connection of disparate Zigbee
wireless meshes over a TCP/IP network to form a single PAN (Personal Area Network).
Using the Q53, low-latency PANs may be created that span buildings, campuses or
continents via local TCP/IP intranets or over the Internet.

Using the Q53, low-latency PANs may be created that span buildings, campuses or
continents via local TCP/IP intranets or over the Internet.
Typical applications for the Q53 include: interconnection of out-of-range devices;
interconnection of 2.4 GHz PANs; or extension of a PAN to a central management and
control facility.
