Overview
Digi’s XCite embedded RF modules enable easy and reliable serial wireless connectivity between
devices with minimal development out-of-the-box. A low-cost alternative to XStream™
embedded RF modules, XCite modules are pin-for-pin and over-the-air compatible with
XStream modules (in 9.6 kbps configurations).
Innovations stamped in their design enable XCite RF modules to yield two- to eight-times the
range of competing RF devices. This allows OEMs and integrators to cover more ground with
fewer devices, with increased reliability. Additionally, XCite RF modules are easy to use, thereby
reducing the complexity of data system development and time to market.
Available in a variety of configurations, including Commercial or Industrial Temperature ratings,
and two antenna variants, XCite RF modules can wirelessly connect a variety of devices across
many applications including remote monitoring, building automation/security, industrial
automation/SCADA, fleet management/asset tracking and sensor data capture in embedded
systems.
• Wired whip and RPSMA
connector antenna options
• Commercial (0 to 70 C) and
Industrial temperature ratings
(-40 to 85 C)
