Digi XBee for Wi-SUN — 865 MHz, FFN, RF pad, MMT, India
A cutting-edge wireless solution supporting Wi-SUN technology with enhanced range, reliability and energy efficiency for smart cities and industrial IoT networks
Digi XBee® is a family of wireless communication modules designed for embedded solutions. Using the Wi-SUN® protocol, the Digi XBee for Wi-SUN solution forms a low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) designed for mesh networking in large-scale outdoor and urban environments, such as smart cities, smart grids, and other Industrial IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
Its mesh-based, low-power communications make Digi XBee for Wi-SUN the ideal solution for smart energy, smart cities, industrial and agricultural use cases.
Open Wi-SUN protocol
Wi-SUN (Wireless Smart Ubiquitous Network) is an open standard protocol developed by the Wi-SUN Alliance. With over 300 alliance members and over 100 million devices deployed, the Digi XBee solution for Wi-Sun, is scalable, secure and standards-based. Wi-SUN mesh networking works over long ranges and supports both battery-operated and mains-powered devices.
Complete edge-to-cloud solution
In addition to Digi XBee for Wi-SUN modules, Digi has Wi-SUN border routers to bridge the Wi-SUN network to the Internet via Ethernet, Wi-Fi or cellular connections. Digi Remote Manager® provides easy device deployment and secure provisioning with network control.
Digi Wireless Design Services (WDS) also offers custom design and build services, configuration, certification assistance and additional services to get your Wi-SUN products to market smarter and faster.
Key benefits of the Digi XBee for Wi-SUN solution

*Availability of specific data rates will be dependent on the region of operation.
**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.
