Digi XBee LR RF Module for LoRaWAN
Easily incorporate into end-node sensor products – enabling the LoRaWAN protocol for device-to-cloud connectivity
- Pre-certification: modular certifications for FCC, IC, and CE standards
- LoRaWAN compatibility: supports the low-power, long-range wide area networking protocol built on the LoRa radio modulation technique
- Versatility: integrates with existing hardware in MMT footprint with 600 nA power consumption
- Zero-touch provisioning: remotely provision and maintain devices that embed Digi XBee LR modules using Digi X-ON™
- Single SKU: one footprint with regional support for multiple bands, including US915, EU868 and more
Digi XBee® LR modules accelerate time to market for developers, OEMs and solution providers to rapidly deploy LoRaWAN wireless connected solutions.
The Digi XBee LR module is available in a range of embedded form factors with a software-defined radio that supports multiple global regional profiles from a single device across multiple LoRaWAN™ markets.
Digi XBee LR modules are ideally suited for very narrowband industrial communications for sensors and control systems, with a temperature rating for −40 °C to 85 °C. The Digi XBee LR uses LoRa™ modulation for Non-Line-of-Sight (NLOS) two-way communications for long-range and high-noise RF environments.
The XBee LR supports the LoRaWAN communications protocol, enabling direct communication with standards-compliant LoRaWAN gateways and network server cloud software over long range with very low-power consumption.
IoT management with Digi X-ON
Digi XBee LR modules are pre-activated on the Digi X-ON IoT platform for automated connection and two-way device management. The Digi XBee LR module provides a simplified Digi Embedded API and AT command interpreter to interface with your sensor over serial.
