XBee and XBee-PRO ZB embedded RF modules provide wireless connectivity to end-point devices in ZigBee mesh networks. Utilizing the ZigBee PRO Feature Set, these modules are interoperable with other ZigBee devices, including devices from other vendors. With XBee, users can have their ZigBee network up-and-running in a matter of minutes without configuration or additional development. Once running, XBee and XBee-PRO ZB modules can accept simple AT or API commands for advanced configuration.
XBee modules are ideal for low-power, low-cost applications. XBee-PRO modules are power-amplified, extended-range versions of XBee modules. Part of the XBee family of RF products, these modules are easy-to-use, share a common hardware footprint, and are fully interoperable with other devices utilizing XBee ZB technology. Module users have the ability to substitute one XBee for another with minimal development time and risk.
XBee products are part of Digi's unsurpassed offering of Drop-in Networking solutions, enabling seamless wireless communication between devices including adapters, routers and gateways. XBee adapters provide wireless connectivity to electronic devices in wired networks. XBee wall routers extend the range of a ZigBee network. ConnectPort™ X gateways enable users to access remote devices in a ZigBee network.
