XBee® DigiMesh 900 Mesh RF Modules

Long-range RF connectivity using the DigiMesh protocol

iDigi
  • Dynamic peer-to-peer DigiMesh protocol with sleeping routers
  • No configuration needed for out-of-the-box RF communications
  • 900 MHz frequency with outdoor RF line-of-sight range up to 6 miles (10 km)
  • Self-healing and discovery for network stability
  • Mutiple antenna options
  • Available iDigi Application Development Services

XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 embedded RF modules utilize the peer-to-peer DigiMesh protocol in 900 MHz for long range deployments in North America. This innovative mesh protocol offers users added network stability through self-healing, self discovery, and dense network operation. With support for sleeping routers, DigiMesh is ideal for power sensitive applications relying upon batteries or power harvesting technology for power.

XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 modules are long range embedded wireless solutions providing end-point device connectivity. These modules use the easy-to-deploy DigiMesh networking protocol. This innovative, peer-to-peer network offers users added network stability through self-healing, dense network operation and support for sleeping routers, extending the operational life of battery dependent networks. Combining the range advantages of the 900 MHz operating frequency with a fast 156 Kbps data rate to the end node and supporting RF line-of-sight ranges of up to 6 miles (with high-gain antennas), these modules are ideal for extended-range wireless applications requiring increased data throughput.

As a member of the XBee® family of RF products, these modules are easy-to-use, share a common hardware footprint and are fully interoperable with other XBee products utilizing the same technology. XBee products are part of Digi's unsurpassed range of Drop-in Networking solutions, offering users seamless wireless communication between devices.

Compatibility Note:
XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 Modules are compatible with other devices that use XBee-PRO "DigiMesh 900" technology. These include ConnectPort X gateways, XBee-PRO Adapters, and other products when designated with the "DigiMesh 900" product name. Devices that do not have the "DigiMesh 900" product name, including Digi's line of ZB, DigiMesh 2.4, and 802.15.4 XBee products are not compatible with XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 Modules.


XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 hardware note: The XBee-PRO DigiMesh 900 shares hardware with XBee-PRO 900. As a result, modules can be “converted” from one platform to another by loading different firmware onto a given module. Contact Digi Support for details.
