CAMBRIDGE, England and BOSTON, Massachusetts, February 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Ember, a leading provider of low-power, wireless mesh networking technology, today announced the appointment of Texim Europe and Ismosys as channel partners for its ZigBee networking systems. Ember's ZigBee networking systems -- chips, software and tools -- simplify the complexity of integrating embedded software, networking and RF for developing low-power, wireless products in Smart Energy, connected home and other remote monitoring and control applications.
According to Bert Lutje Berenbroek, Ember's vice president of sales for EMEA, Ember is poised for significant growth in Europe fueled in part by smart grid regulations and climate change initiatives which are going to change the way utility companies and their customers manage energy and water consumption in residential and commercial buildings. The appointment of Texim Europe and Ismosys reflects a strategic realignment of Ember's sales channels to meet customer needs and to efficiently and effectively cover the entire process from customer acquisition to fulfillment and technical support, Berenbroek said.
Ismosys (http://www.ismosys.com/ismosys_emea/) is the principal trading division of the Spectrum Electronics Group, a Pan-European organization founded in the UK in 1994 to provide sales, marketing and operations support to Tier-1 customers and associated design, manufacturing and software partners.

Ismosys will focus on demand creation for Ember products in EMEA.
Commenting on the appointment, Ismosys Managing Director Nigel Watts acknowledged Ember's leadership in ZigBee networking systems by saying, Ember provides the ideal low-power wireless solution for customers implementing wireless monitoring and control in Smart Energy and home automation products. In addition Watts asserted, acclaimed technological leadership has established Ember as the most deployed ZigBee platform globally. My team is looking forward to working with Texim Europe to propagate Ember's unique technology and extend its service levels to a rapidly expanding EMEA customer base.
