The Digi XBee ecosystem delivers a choice of XBee radio modules for reliable RF connectivity via cellular gateways, and XBee cellular modems for direct connectivity, giving you complete design flexibility. Select the type of XBee module that best suits your application, as well as the best protocol and frequency.

Software, Tools andSecurity

The Digi XBee ecosystem provides a comprehensive set of software and tools to support prototyping, development and deployment, as well as integrated security and ongoing management of your deployed devices. From Digi XCTU — a sophisticated tool for configuration and testing — to prototyping tools, software libraries, the Digi TrustFence security framework and the Digi XBee mobile app, you have everything you need to build and deploy any wireless application:

Network Management and Cloud Integration

Digi XBee 3 modules integrate with Digi Remote Manager®, the command center for deployed networks of Digi devices. For a network of any size — or one that will need to scale — it is imperative to be able to reach every device so you can keep those devices online and up-to-date. Digi RM enables rapid firmware updates, security patches and troubleshooting.

Additionally, the Digi XBee ecosystem is cloud-ready. Digi Remote Manager lets you easily integrate with any cloud service, including Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

The key benefits include:

  • Accessibility to geographically dispersed or hard-to-reach devices for any needed maintenance or updates.
  • Ability to automate repeat tasks for efficiency.
  • Insights into the health of your devices, as well as the ability to remotely restart them.
  • Security automation: The Digi RM Configuration Manager monitors configurations and resets them if they fall out of compliance.
  • Integration: Cloud-agnostic Digi Remote Manager enables seamless integration of your IoT application with your business systems and processes.

Deploy with ease Scale reliably Stay future-ready Maximize range, minimize power Accelerate time to market
"The DigiMesh network solution is very easy for us to deploy – and far less expensive than competing solutions." Daniel Noiseux, General Manager and Executive Vice President Read more about this solution
"We like DigiMesh because it’s scalable and reliable. It just works. The whole topology is robust, configurable, and self-healing. Other mesh networks force you to do a lot of this work yourself, but DigiMesh doesn’t require all of that manual setup and maintenance." Annie Brox, Founder Read more about this solution
"When we expand to different areas that have different cellular networks, we can adapt very quickly. Digi lets us swap between NB-IoT and LTE, for instance. That’s huge for us." Randall Schwartzentruber, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of BinSentry Read more about this solution
"Digi has the longest range, the lowest power, mesh networking, and industry certifications that we need. It’s been an ideal choice for us and our customers." Anil Bhaskar, Chief Executive Officer Read more about this solution
"Digi helps us in our transition from wired to wireless communications in our customers’ solar plants, and that’s helping us bring innovative change to a fast-growing industry." Noemí Pérez, Commercial Director Read more about this solution
