What are the differences between the 9XStream and the 9XCite modules?
Here is a brief table highlighting the differences:

In addition to the differences highlighted above: the 9XCite has fewer command and parameter options than the XStream product family. Specifically:
-
Reliable delivery protocols are not supported on the 9XCite, including the ATRR and ATRN commands. RR must be turned OFF on an XStream in order to communicate with a 9XCite.
-
Binary command mode is not available in the 9XCite.
-
9XCite supports a subset of the AT commands: DT, HP, MK, CS and CD. Other parameters are configurable through PC software only.
