XBee-PRO™ Zigbee/802.15.4 RS-232 RF Modem   2.4 GHz

 

The XBee-PRO ZigBee/802.15.4 RS-232 RF Modem provides all the benefits of the ZigBee standard in a design that yields three times the range of traditional ZigBee solutions. The 100 mW XBee-PRO provides up to one mile range (1.6km) and its RS-232 connectivity makes integration simple.

No configuration is necessary for out-of-box RF communications. The modem’s default configuration supports a wide range of data system applications. Advanced configurations can be implemented using simple AT commands.

* When operating in Europe: XBee-PRO Modems 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).

When purchased with accessories, each XBee-PKG-R comes with the components needed to setup and test your radio modem using one or two PCs (two radio modems are required to make a wireless link).
