* When operating in Europe: XBee-PRO Modules must be configured to operate at a maximum TX power output level of 10 dBm (power level is set using AT commands). Additionally, European regulations stipulate an EIRP power maximum of 12.86 dBm (19 mW).
The chip and integrated whip antennas are suited for any application, but are especially useful in embedded applications. Since the radios do not have any issue radiating through plastic cases or housings, the antennas can be completely enclosed in those types of applications.
The U.FL connector is used in conjunction with an adapter cable that can be connected to a dipole or gain antenna if the housing is metal or if that solution is more desirable mechanically. Range can differ somewhat with different antenna types, so that should be a consideration when choosing what type of antenna you want to use.
