Digi XBee XR 900 Development Kit
Complete Digi XBee XR 900 development platform operates in the 902-928 MHz range, delivering superior performance and interference immunity
The Digi XBee® XR 900 Development Kit features Digi XBee XR 900 MHz micro-mount (MMT) modules, dipole antennas with U.FL connectors and Digi XBIB-C Development Boards. The pre-certified modules are a compact and reliable solution supporting deployment of long-range connectivity applications in that operate between 902 and 928 MHz in compliance with standards.
Secure, robust and reliable
Digi XBee XR 900 modules can be configured using the easy-to-use Digi XBee Studio software or via Digi’s simplified AT or API command sets. They are also pre-certified for use in multiple regions. This helps OEMs to accelerate RF development for fast time to market. The utilization of Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) on the XBee XR module, 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 10.5 miles (17 kilometers). It is well suited for agriculture and energy applications where long-distance communication is required.
The Digi XBee XR 900 RF modules deliver 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, deployment, and long-term network management and support.
