Digi XBee-PRO® XSC

NRND

900 MHz Long-Range RF Module

For new designs that do not require interoperability with 9XStream radios, see XBee-PRO 900HP
Over-the-air compatibility with legacy 9XStream products
20 times less current draw than previous XSC module
Superior outdoor LOS range of up to 28 miles*

Overview Part Numbers & Accessories Specifications Resources Support

The Digi XBee-PRO XSC 900 MHz RF module features two times the throughput and 20 times less current draw than the previous XSC module, making it ideal for long-range sensor applications. The RF module features an ADF7023 transceiver from Analog Devices, delivering best-in-class distances up to 28 miles Line-of-Sight (LOS)*, along with low power consumption, drawing less than 2.5 uA in power down.

The latest Digi XBee-PRO XSC (S3B hardware) is firmware compatible with the legacy 9XStream® and the legacy Digi XBee-PRO XSC modules.

Digi’s free X-CTU configuration utility simplifies the configuration of the XSC module, which requires no programming. In addition, it can be easily configured via a simplified AT command set. The RF modules are pre-certified for North America and Australia, further reducing development costs and time to market.

*Range figure estimates are based on free-air terrain with limited sources of interference. Actual range will vary based on transmitting power, orientation of transmitter and receiver, height of transmitting antenna, height of receiving antenna, weather conditions, interference sources in the area, and terrain between receiver and transmitter, including indoor and outdoor structures such as walls, trees, buildings, hills, and mountains.
