XTend® RF Modems

• Indoor/urban range up to 3000 feet
• Outdoor line-of-sight range up to 40 miles (with high gain antenna)
• Outstanding receiver sensitivity (-110 dBm @9600 bps)
• Adjustable power output from 1 mW to 1 W; up to 4 W EIRP (with 6 dB antenna)
• Product datasheet

Digi's XTend-PKG RF modems provide everything you need for out-of-the-box serial cable replacement, enabling quick wireless connectivity of electronic devices across a broad range of applications. Simply feed data into one modem and the data is transported to the other end of a long range wireless link. Data security is provided by 256-bit AES encryption (128-bit AES is available outside of North America). If more advanced functionality is needed, the modems support an extensive set of AT and binary commands.
