Digi XBee XR 868

Kits now available

The Digi XBee XR family operates in the 863-870 MHz range, delivering superior performance and interference immunity

 
  • Low-power CE/RED certified 868 MHz RF module based on Silicon Labs EFR32 microcontroller
  • Design includes SAW filter for optimal performance in noisy RF environments
  • Listen-Before-Talk and Frequency Agility for optimal interference immunity
  • DigiMesh® networking topology for redundancy and reliability
  • Simple configuration using Digi XBee® Studio accelerates time to market

The Digi XBee XR 868 module is a compact and reliable solution supporting deployment of long-range connectivity applications in the European region. The pre-certified module operates between 863 and 870 MHz in compliance with European standards.

The module supports both point-to-point and mesh networking protocols, with a line-of-sight range of over 14 kilometers. It is well suited for agriculture and energy applications where long-distance communication is required.

Intelligent interference management

Digi XBee XR 868 also leverages 868 MHz and surrounding frequencies for LBT + AFA (Listen Before Talk and Adaptive Frequency Agility). This significantly reduces interference by listening to the radio environment before any transmission starts, and automatically shifts to a new channel when interference is detected. This patented frequency scan occurs automatically and in a matter of microseconds so as not to impact performance.

*Range figure estimates are based on free-air terrain with limited sources of interference. Actual range will vary based on transmitting power, orientation of transmitter and receiver, height of transmitting antenna, height of receiving antenna, weather conditions, interference sources in the area, and terrain between receiver and transmitter, including indoor and outdoor structures such as walls, trees, buildings, hills, and mountains.
