Digi XBee® 868LP Low-Power RF Modules
Digi International XBee 868LP Low-Power RF Modules are designed for 868MHz European applications. The XBee 868LP modules are high-performance, low-power modules that can run either a proprietary DigiMesh® or point-to-multipoint networking protocol. The modules utilize a low-power Energy Micro microcontroller and an Analog Devices ADF7023 transceiver, which offers industry-leading interference blocking. The XBee 868LP operates between 863MHz and 870MHz, making it deployable in several regions worldwide, including approved European countries and India, by utilizing a software selectable channel masking feature.
The XBee 868LP for Europe uses 868MHz and surrounding frequencies for LBT + AFA (Listen Before Talk and Adaptive Frequency Agility). This virtually eliminates interference by listening to the radio environment before any transmission starts and automatically shifting to a new channel when interference is detected. This patent-pending frequency scan occurs automatically and in a matter of microseconds so as not to impact performance. The modules support RF line-of-sight distances up to 8.4km. These modules are ideal for challenging wireless environments where RF penetration and transmission distance are critical to the application.
