XBee-PRO® 802.15.4 RF Modems

• ISM 2.4 GHz operating frequency
• 50 mW (+17 dBm) power output (up to 1 mile range)
• RS-232 and USB interface options
• Industrial temperature rating (-40° C to 85° C)
• Advanced mesh networking and low-power modes supported
• Product datasheet

XBee-PRO PKG RF modems provide everything you need for off-the-shelf IEEE 802.15.4 mesh networking connectivity to electronic serial devices. Simply feed data into one modem and the data is transported to the other end of a wireless link. No configuration is necessary for out-of-the-box RF communications. The modem’s default configuration supports a wide range of data system applications. Advanced configurations can be implemented using simple AT commands or API
