Digi XBee® & XBee-PRO® ZB ZigBee® RF Modules
Digi XBee® and XBee-PRO® ZB ZigBee® RF Modules provide cost-effective wireless connectivity to devices in ZigBee mesh networks. These devices are interoperable with other ZigBee and ZigBee PRO feature-set devices. These modules require no configuration or additional development; users can have a network up and running in minutes. Programmable versions of the XBee-PRO ZB ZigBee and the SMT ZigBee modules make customizing ZigBee applications easy, even without wireless design expertise.
All Digi XBee and XBee-PRO ZB ZigBee RF Modules include iDigi Manager Pro, a feature of all Digi cellular gateways, routers, devices, and components. iDigi Manager Pro provides a robust suite of network management tools, including authentication, configuration management, account management, asynchronous updates and alerts, group and individual software updating, network data storage, and gateway programming. With iDigi Manager Pro, network managers can remotely configure, upgrade, monitor, and troubleshoot remote devices and create applications that improve productivity, speed, and efficiency.
Programmable versions of XBee-PRO ZB and XBee-PRO ZB SMT modules make customizing ZigBee applications easy. Programming directly on the module eliminates the need for a separate processor. Because the wireless software is isolated, applications can be developed with no risk to RF performance or security.
