Digi XBee-PRO 9XRQ 900
The Digi XBee-PRO 9XRQ 900 module delivers reliable long-range wireless connectivity in the 902–928 MHz ISM band, combining the proven XBee form factor with the performance and flexibility of the Digi SX protocol platform. Digi XBee-PRO 9XRQ 900 provides a straightforward upgrade path while maintaining the familiar through-hole footprint and 250 mW transmit power.
Built on updated hardware with enhanced RF filtering, the Digi XBee 9XRQ 900 improves resistance to out-of-band interference and helps ensure dependable communications in demanding industrial and commercial environments. The module is over-the-air compatible with Digi XBee XR 900 and Digi XBee-PRO devices operating the SX protocol, allowing organizations to expand or modernize existing wireless networks without redesigning their entire infrastructure.
Supporting DigiMesh networking, point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topologies, the Digi XBee 9XRQ 900 enables flexible deployment across remote monitoring, industrial automation, utility, agriculture and asset management applications. Long communication ranges, low power operation and robust security features make it well suited for connecting distributed devices where reliability is critical.
Like all Digi XBee modules, the 9XRQ 900 simplifies wireless design by providing a standardized interface, common command set and broad ecosystem support. Developers can rapidly integrate secure, long-range wireless communications into new or existing products while reducing development time and accelerating time-to-market.
Configuration, testing and network management are simplified with Digi XBee Studio, providing an intuitive graphical environment for device setup and deployment.
