Embedded RF Modules for OEMs
Low-cost, easy-to-deploy modules provide critical
end-point connectivity to Digi’s Drop-in Networking
product family.
Overview
XBee Product Family
The XBee family of embedded RF modules provides OEMs with a
common footprint shared by multiple platforms, including multipoint
and ZigBee/Mesh topologies, and both 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz
solutions. OEMs deploying the XBee can substitute one XBee for
another, depending upon dynamic application needs, with minimal
development, reduced risk and shorter time-tomarket.
Why XBee Multipoint RF Modules?
XBee multipoint RF modules are ideal for applications requiring
low latency and predictable communication timing. Providing quick,
robust communication in point-to-point, peer-to-peer, and multipoint/
star configurations, XBee multipoint products enable robust end-point
connectivity with ease. Whether deployed as a pure cable replacement
for simple serial communication, or as part of a more complex hub-
and-spoke network of sensors, XBee multipoint RF modules maximize
wireless performance and ease of development.
Drop-in Networking End-Point Connectivity
XBee OEM RF modules are part of Digi’s Drop-in Networking family
of end-to-end connectivity solutions. By seamlessly interfacing with
compatible gateways, device adapters and extenders, XBee embedded
RF modules provide developers with true beyond-the-horizon
connectivity.
