XBee Pro 802.15.4 (63 mW - RPSMA Connector)

This is the very popular 2.4GHz XBee module from Digi. These modules take the 802.15.4 stack (the basis for Zigbee) and wrap it into a simple to use serial command set. These modules allow a very reliable and simple communication between microcontrollers, computers, systems, really anything with a serial port! Point to point and multi-point networks are supported.

Note: If you are using these outside of Canada/US, please check with your local laws regarding radio communication.

Note: If you want to using Zigbee protocol, please select a Zigbee radio instead.
