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-to-
market.
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.
