Digi XBee XR 900 Application
The Digi XBee XR 900 module is a compact and reliable solution supporting deployment of long-range connectivity applications. The pre-certified module operates between 902 and 928 MHz in compliance with standards.
Secure, robust and reliable
The Digi XBee XR 900 modules can be configured easily using Digi’s easy-to-use Digi XBee Studio software or via Digi’s simplified AT or API command sets. They are pre-certified for use in multiple countries and include integrated antennas, removing the burden of RF development/ support costs and enabling fast time to market for OEM designs.
The utilization of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) on the XBee XR along with an industrial temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C (−40 °F to 185 °F) make it ideal for applications in noisy, challenging environments.
The module supports both point-to-point and mesh networking protocols (DigiMesh®), with a line-of-sight range up to 17 kilometers. It is well suited for agriculture and energy applications where long distance communication is required.
The Digi XBee XR 900 RF module is a complete hardware and software solution that works directly out of the box. Development kits along with Digi XBee Tools support the complete IoT application lifecycle, from evaluation, testing and prototyping through manufacturing and deployment to long-term network management.
