XBee Module

Description

About this item:

The XBee Module is a highly versatile wireless communication module designed to simplify the integration of Zigbee and 802.15.4 protocols into embedded systems. Known for its ease of use, low power consumption, and reliable performance, XBee is widely adopted in IoT applications, industrial automation, and wireless sensor networks.

Operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band, the module enables data communication at 250 kbps with ranges up to 100 meters indoors and over 300 meters outdoors (line of sight). It supports UART (serial) communication, making it compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and PIC.

The module is designed for low-power operation, with sleep modes consuming as little as 1 µA, making it suitable for battery-powered devices. Its mesh networking capability allows robust, scalable networks with self-healing and multi-hop communication.
