Product datasheet

XBee and XBee-PRO DigiMesh adapters deliver wireless connectivity to electronic devices using the DigiMesh protocol. This innovative, peer-to-peer networking protocol offers users increased stability by forming self-healing, self-discovering mesh networks. DigiMesh features dense network operation and support for sleeping routers, extending the operational life of battery dependent networks.

XBee and XBee-PRO DigiMesh adapters are available in 2.4 GHz and 900 MHz variants. Interface options include RS-232, RS-485, USB, digital and analog interfaces.

XBee and XBee-PRO DigiMesh adapters are compatible with other products using the DigiMesh protocol, such as ConnectPort® X gateways, and XBee and XBee-PRO wireless modules. By using the iDigi™ Cloud, users can securely access and manage devices in their DigiMesh network from anywhere in the world.
